Truck Yeah! Slate Announces Pricing

This episode of Kilowatt delivers a packed legal and technical update on the state of autonomous driving and electric vehicle innovations. We open with a deep dive into the tragic and heavily scrutinized Tesla crash in Texas, tracing how the story evolved from early media reports to a federal NHTSA probe and Tesla’s recent legal settlement. Next, we check in on the global EV landscape, following the latest design leaks for the upcoming Lucid Cosmos and details on Lucid's robotaxi partnership expanding to Houston. We also break down the engineering limits of Tesla’s highly anticipated Cybercab and examine a radical new safety update that allows vehicle cameras to pre-deploy airbags. Finally, we look at how specialized electric trucks are dropping below the $20,000 threshold thanks to a clever mix of localized state incentives.
