InsideEVs Plugged-In Podcast

I enjoy listening to your podcast—always engaging and informative. However, I felt that the comments about Elon Musk weren’t necessary and gave the impression of bias, rather than focusing on facts and balanced opinions - just wanted to share this feedback for consideration.

I know you know that the rest of the world has moved on without us with regard to EV tech. And your focus on the debacle that is the US market is unavoidable. But your timidity in the face of these twin truths makes your podcast pretty weak sauce. Most recently you gave an extended defense of your coverage of Tesla, and it did sound quite defensive. If ever a company was objectively doomed, it is this one. They cannot compete with the Chinese makers and their stock valuation is based on a cult of personality. But your verdict is, don’t count ‘em out. Very brave. And your coverage of Ford’s craven retreat emphasized their interest in mimicking Tesla’s stock valuation strategy, without pointing out that approach is not only beside the point but impossible and a really bad idea. All this has to change. But that isn’t what you’re saying, and I know you consider yourself reporters. You’re doing your audience a disservice. And it makes you boring.

Podcast is very informative. The only problem is your low level of sound. Very hard to hear

Love this podcast. I’ve been listening for years. I really appreciate the mix of news and direct first person research. Keep it up!
