| 0:00.0 | It's TV news briefly for Saturday 28th of September. Welcome to the weekend. Everything you need to know in less than five minutes if you haven't got the 24 minutes needed for today's full podcast. We'll start with some news about Tesla. As we head into October, it's going to be a massive month for Tesla in October. The unveiling of the new Robo Taxi, the autonomy event, third quarter earnings, the first big one. |
| 0:21.5 | We think it'll be next Wednesday, October 2nd, if they follow the usual cadence, and that's |
| 0:26.6 | going to be their Q3 production and deliveries number. |
| 0:30.1 | And there's loads of optimism around this, which is important because Tesla's a bellwether |
| 0:33.8 | of the industry, and when Tesla don't do well, it kind of allows certainly the |
| 0:38.9 | mainstream headlines to follow this. No one's buying EVs narrative, which is not true. We could |
| 0:45.1 | be seeing a very big number from Tesla. It won't probably be as big as Q4 last year, which was |
| 0:50.2 | their record, almost half a million vehicles. And it will surely be driven by the success they're having in China |

| 1:06.1 | Now, Hyundai is launching more small electric work trucks |
| 1:09.9 | on their ST1 series, starting at around $40,000 |
| 1:14.6 | US dollar equivalent. They start in South Korea. I'm sure they'll sell them elsewhere. A chassis |
| 1:19.8 | cab, EV work truck and a special high top model van as well. This is a high voltage platform |
| 1:25.8 | with a 76 kilowatt-hour battery, well over 200 miles of range or 320 |
| 1:29.8 | kilometers, and starting at a very attractive price. And in Switzerland, they're using the ID |
| 1:36.6 | buzz to deliver your parcels with autonomy. So they've got all the sensors on the roof, |
| 1:42.7 | and you see that with all the other |
| 1:44.1 | distant autonomy companies. It doesn't look particularly good, but they're using the ID |
| 1:48.8 | buzz to bring your Amazon packages, I think, to go and I think they take it to a depot where |
| 1:54.7 | smaller electric autonomous vehicles, you know, the little ones, little robots on the pavement, |
