| 0:00.0 | It's TV news briefly for Tuesday, March 26th. Everything can be in less than five minutes if you haven't got time for the full podcast. Patreon supporters get the shows as soon as they're ready and add free. Be like them by clicking on a link in the show notes. Got some pictures being sent to me. I've been tagged in a post on X of these EU funded Tesla's superchargers. They are Tesla V4s in France. They've got the blue European flag on, though, and it's |
| 0:21.6 | co-funded by the EU. This must be what we saw over six months ago, about the Tesla 130 million |
| 0:30.2 | funding from the EU to put public charges in the ground. It looks like the fruits of this. |
| 0:34.4 | Tesla is launching complementary full self-driving, a one-month trial for both new buyers |
| 0:38.6 | and existing owners of the vehicle if you haven't tried the feature that will cost $12,000. |
| 0:43.6 | And Elon Musk implementing a mandatory driver assist demo for any new car purchase. |
| 0:47.8 | Every new buyer in the US of a Tesla will now have to go on a drive before they're allowed to |
| 0:52.7 | take their car away with a member of |
| 0:54.2 | staff who will show them how FSD works and ask them if they'd like to buy it. Now I think this is |

| 1:04.2 | have a free trial of FSD but Elon Musk saying this is a hard requirement in a leaked email. |
| 1:09.7 | It's a non-negotiable. You must now go for a drive with every new Tesla customer handover. |
| 1:14.0 | That seems like a massive waste of resource of HR time. |
| 1:18.0 | And, well, hey, we'll wait and see if that gets reversed. |
| 1:20.1 | I think this might be a 2 a.m email from Mr. Musk, which is perhaps one of his less good ideas. |
| 1:25.3 | CATL is collaborating with Tesla to enhance fast-charging batteries aiming at a $25,000 model 2, |
| 1:32.2 | if you want to call it that. |
| 1:33.5 | CATL looking at licensing technologies, maybe selling Tesla more equipment for their Nevada |
| 1:39.3 | Gigafactory, ways of doing business in the US without actually being in the US because |
| 1:43.9 | they're not allowed to be. |
| 1:45.1 | Xiaomi is setting a price target of under $70,000 for their first TV, the SU7. We'll find out |
| 1:51.5 | more in two days time. But now we know it's going to be 70K. It's going to be up there with |
