This podcast was recorded on Friday Apr 18 2022, using Telegram for Windows to join the TBP crew an hour in to their special 250th episode! Show notes below.
Even though I couldn't join for the first hour, the crew let me in late anyway, enjoying my 9th appearance on this fun and informative podcast.
I jumped in by mentioning my recent attendance at this special e-everything day:
As an alternative to the players above, you'll have speed controls using the player at right. Even better, use your favorite podcast app, such as Overcast which lets you keep your hands on the wheel and attention on the road, using now-common steering wheel controls to skip back / skip ahead withing the episode, rather than the default of jumping to the previous/next episode.
Disclosure:I hold no stock and never held stock in any of the companies mentioned on the podcast or in this article.
2023 bZ4X - EPA range up to 252 miles
Price estimated to start around $42K, but it won't be eligible for the full $7500 Federal Tax Credit for long, given PHEVs sold counted against that 200,000 vehicle cap.
150 kW DC Fast Charging Speed.
2023 Solterra SUV - EPA range 220 miles
Price TBD, should be eligible for $7500 Federal Tax Credit.
150 kW DC Fast Charging Speed, made by Toyota, very similar to bZ4X. A Toyobaru, if you will.
2022 IONIQ 5 - EPA range 303 miles
$43,650 to $50,600 MSRP USD, eligible for $7500 Federal Tax Credit and local incentives.
350 kW DC Fast Charging Speed, but no battery preconditioning for much faster charge rates in colder weather.
2022 Kia EV6 - EPA range 310 miles
$40,900 to $51,200, eligible for $7500 Federal Tax Credit and local incentives.
Based on the same vehicle platform as the IONIQ 5.

Hey Aaron, Tyle, Russ: I just finished a customer call, free for now. I saw this milestone episode 250 might go a little long. Would it ruin the flow if I hop on to the Video Chat this late?

save us and let's talk some EV or whatever. :D
US Companies @Tesla, @Rivian, and @LucidMotors visited the Connecticut State Capitol to answer questions and offer elected officials a ride. If you want to buy, take delivery, and service such EVs in Connecticut, now is time to support SB 214! It's easy -> https://t.co/Z0uuPIsQ1Epic.twitter.com/R9y6w6Bf6O
Thank you @Rivian for bringing an R1T electric pickup truck to Connecticut yesterday, it was this growing family's very first look inside! They're eager awaiting delivery of their R1S SUV with 3 row seating.
After 6 successful years testing then shipping well over 1,000 Xeon D Bundles, Wiredzone had to stop selling them in mid-2021 due to cost, supply, and logistics challenges. So far, Xeon D-1700/2700 (Ice Lake D) was a minor refresh for 2023, with Xeon D-1800/2800 (Granite Rapids D) refresh looking a little better for 2024. More cores, but still just PCIe Gen4 and DDR4. Looking ahead, I'm glad it's Pat Gelsinger at Intel's helm. I'm also grateful to have had the honor of working at VMware when Pat was the CIO there. I'll leave it at that, given the whole Broadcom thing.
