    Ep. 222: WATT'S SO FUNNY? Optimus Learns Kung Fu (And Other Tesla Headlines) with Blake Wexler

    Comedian Blake Wexler joins the show today as Tesla unveils a no-frills Model Y that's cheaper than a fake Labubu but roasted harder than a cup of overcooked ramen. Elon asks, "does your mom have a question?" on X and Aubrey Strobel's mom scores a SpaceX launch invite—hmm, was it waste of a Q&A? OpenAI's Sora 2 unleashes physics-perfect deepfake video creation. From Bob Ross painting a Cybertruck to Tupac chatting up Mr. Rogers, the lines are now even blurrier between what's real and what's not. And finally, Tesla's Optimus appeared out of nowhere last week and drop-kicked the world with some Kung Fu flair before narrating a vote-hype video for the Nov 6th shareholder bash, dangling a trillion-dollar CEO carrot for Elon. Reality is stranger than fiction but hey, I'm here for it! ________________________ Blake Wexler is a New York-based comedian who started doing stand-up at the age of 15 as a high school student in Philadelphia. In addition to writing for and appearing on Comedy Central & ABC, Blake also has been a featured performer in (too) many comedy festivals and can be regularly heard on The Cracked, Daily Zeitgeist & The Todd Glass Show podcasts.

    Ep. 220: The Plot Twist You Didn't See Coming and Q3 EV Sales Surge

    Holy Q3 Batman. According to Automotive News, EVs floored it with a 21% sales surge to 410,000 units, snagging 10% market share last quarter. Buyers dashed like caffeinated squirrels to hoard $7,500 tax credits before Uncle Sam yanked the cord. Meanwhile, Tesla's still the boss with 463,000 global deliveries, but growth seems to be idling like a Cybertruck in traffic. Enter GM's glow-up: 66,000 EVs sold—double last year—with the Equinox EV dethroning all non-Tesla vehicles. Ford's Mustang Mach-E revved up 50% to 20,000 sales and Rivian's cranking deliveries toward 15,000 vehicles, though tariff threats from China and expired tax credits might zap the momentum. But hold the phone. Dealers and execs braced for a sales cliff, but here's the plot twist: GM and Ford are flipping the script with slick leasing programs that stretch the credit's life. Their financing arms are fronting down payments on EVs to snag the $7,500 subsidy upfront, then passing the savings to lessees through lower monthly rates – keeping the party going for months. Ford's aiming to hold competitive leases via Ford Credit through December 31, while GM Financial is doing the same, buying vehicles in bulk to qualify before matching them with customers. It's a loophole love letter to EV adoption, potentially softening the post-credit hangover. ______________________________ Today's guest outro is "Surprise Me" by Zach Zimmerman YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3J60D-JPSM _______________________________ Automotive News "GM sets record for EVs in Q3 as total U.S. sales rise 8%" "GM, Ford work around EV tax credit expiration with Q4 lease programs" _______________________________ Connect with Elena: https://evs4everyone.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/elenaciccotelli/ Let's talk on X: https://twitter.com/EVs_forEveryone Are you connected with the show on LinkedIn? https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-evs-for-everyone-podcast/ ________________________

    Ep. 217: WATT'S SO FUNNY? Electric Batmobiles, Tesla's Optimus Robot and a Noise Citation

    Detroit based stand-up comedian, Joel Sankey joins the show to humorously explore the eccentric world of EVs, delivering laughs and sharp commentary. He muses on whether Batman would swap his legendary Batmobile for Mahindra's BE 6 Batman Edition, which features "Bat Signal" puddle lights and custom engine sounds, available to just 300 fortunate buyers. We also poke fun at the ridiculousness of a Dodge Charger EV driver receiving a ticket for a non-existent loud exhaust. Then the conversation shifts to Tesla's Optimus robot, comparing its unsettling hands to a scene from a sci-fi film and discussing whether or not "getting a Coke in SalesForce's kitchen" is the beginning of the end of the human race. Finally, Joel examines Car and Driver's list of upcoming EVs, speculating which might actually hit the roads and when he can put his order in for the Mercedes Luxury Van (2026). Need a laugh today? We gotchu. __________________________ Mahindra's BE 6 Batman EV A Dodge Charger EV Driver Got a Ticket for a Loud Exhaust Tesla's Optimus Robot Car and Driver article __________________________ This episode is sponsored by The Merlin Group, your go-to partner for B2B success.
