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

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
