Description-
We begin Podcast #5 by discussing the road trip that Mike just went and how his Model 3 handled it. We then consider how the road trip experience may be changed by the possibility of Superchargers opening up to other EVs. We say happy birthday to the Model 3, which turned 6 today. We discuss the rumors of FSD Beta expansion to new rumors. Finally we respond to viewer questions about other EVs such as the Polestar and BMW i4, and how many EVs are not as mod-friendly as Tesla's vehicles.
