Kilowatt: A Podcast about Electric Vehicles

Description:

Join me in this episode as I delve into the various facets of podcasting. I explore topics ranging from podcast networks to the challenges faced in production, distribution, and monetization. I also recount a frustrating experience with a design flaw in my Tesla Model Y, narrating efforts to retrieve a dropped AirPod lodged in a hard-to-reach spot. Sharing a detailed review of Tesla's Full Self-Driving feature, I highlight both successful instances and areas that need improvement, emphasizing the need for clearer decision-making processes. Furthermore, I share encounters with Fisker Ocean electric vehicles, expressing enthusiasm for the growing prevalence of EVs in my vicinity. Previewing upcoming episodes, I tease discussions on EVs, solar energy, and more with industry experts.
