TWC Podcast #109: Basically Infinite
By The Watt Car Staff — March 9, 2023
Between road trips and Investor Day, this week’s podcast is a “Tesla-sode,” packing wall-to-wall Tesla news into a 40 minute podcast. We discuss attempting to rent a Tesla from Hertz, the Supercharger Magic Dock in the wild, updating an older Model 3 for CCS compatibility, Model Y sales in Germany, and Tesla’s Investor Day, where Elon Musk described the demand for Teslas as “basically infinite.”
