| 0:00.0 | It's EV News briefly for Tuesday, 28th of November. I'm back at 5pm UK. That's Midday Eastern |
| 0:05.0 | with the full show. But Patreon supporters, you get the episodes as soon as they're ready and ad-free. |
| 0:09.2 | Be like them by clicking on that link. You can see just there in the show notes. We'll start with |
| 0:12.9 | news of Tesla's Model 3 Highland being crowned Norway's top car choice. They named three |
| 0:19.0 | things that they felt was letting down the Model three. That was the cabin inside, the inconsistent ownership experience and the interior design alongside the noise. Well, I don't know about the ownership experience in Norway. I think all car dealers have good and bad versions of that, but the new Highland certainly fixes the interior design and the noise issue. |
| 0:39.8 | Add that to the great consumption range, the best range out there in EVs, great software, efficient space utilization. |
| 0:48.1 | And the Model 3 Highland is one of the best EVs, if not the best EV. You can buy at its price point. |
| 0:53.2 | Now, Tesla taking legal action against the Swedish Transport Agency, |
| 0:57.7 | the strike, which is going on in Sweden right now, |
| 1:00.2 | there's a worker strike hindering the delivery of license plates, |
| 1:03.0 | and without that, Tesla can't deliver cars involving the post-Nord workers. |
| 1:07.4 | They filed a court case legal action yesterday to force the issue one way or the other. |
| 1:14.4 | Other unions are coming out in sympathy strikes with Tesla's mechanics and Tesla refused to sign a |
| 1:20.3 | collective agreement whilst also saying that the terms that they have existing are better than |
| 1:24.4 | what the union would want. So, I don't know why Tesla don't just agree and sign it, because they're already paying better conditions than the deal would |
| 1:32.6 | give them. I'm sure it's more complicated than that. Tesla's free supercharging is back. I never |
| 1:38.2 | thought I'd say that. But for six months, if you buy a three or a Y in the States, you get free |
| 1:43.3 | supercharging. Now there are some asterisks on this. If it's a business order a Y in the States, you get free supercharging. Now there are some |
| 1:44.8 | asterisks on this. If it's a business order, it doesn't count. If you're going to rinse it, |
| 1:49.0 | it doesn't count. Tesla say that they will remove it if you exceed what they think is fair usage, |
| 1:54.8 | but they haven't said what that is. So if you've got some road trips planned, maybe just risk it. That's a great deal. Obviously, Highland is coming out in the US soon, Model 3. |
| 2:02.6 | So you might want to wait for that, but Model Y buyers, you could purchase that and get free |
