Customer Reviews
Very comprehensive - always timely.
Fred: “We are LIVE. Seth, how are you doing this week?”
Seth: “I’m good”. Seth is always good. Not great, not bad, just good.
… and that’s a good thing because the show is consistently interesting, full of timely information, and always a worthwhile listen. I enjoy the reviews on the test rides. I am a Tesla owner and yes, the show is Tesla forward but that’s the industry right now. No complaints from me, keep up the great work!
BTW, if you listen for nothing else, then enjoy Fred’s attempt at pronouncing (butchering) names and cities. Always a good time.
Thorough
I rely on Electrek for authoritative news on the state of the EV industry. Others focus on vehicle reviews and specific components of the EV world, but Electrek is best for broad and thorough coverage. I feel that listening to their weekly podcast keeps me informed on anything that’s worth knowing.
Just the facts, no fluff or promotion of sponsors.
This is a wonderful show that is jammed full of Tesla and other EV news. They aren’t Elon sycophants. They don’t talk about their dog or promote their sponsors at the end of the show. They report EV news in a fair and unbiased manner. They are my go-to source for EV news.
