We dig into Tesla's R&D spending per vehicle versus GM, why the charging and range crown has slipped to Hyundai, Kia and Lucid, and what we would actually do to fix Tesla's product lineup and priorities.\nFrom there we cover GM's Ultium charging push, the strange story behind Volvo getting a connected-car waiver while Polestar did not, and whether EV road trips make sense with young kids in the car. We also talk through GM's heavy but practical EV trucks, why a hybrid or gas Silverado EV would be a game changer, and settle the debate between the Ram 1500 TRX, Rumble Bee and Ford Raptor R.\n \n0:00 Intro: winging it this week\n0:22 Listener question: a fun, self-driving car that isn't a Tesla\n4:16 Has Tesla become a legacy car company?\n11:07 Tesla's R&D spending compared to GM\n20:56 How we'd fix Tesla\n29:31 GM's Ultium push for faster charging\n32:15 Volvo's connected-car waiver and Polestar's problem\n37:27 Road tripping in EVs with young kids\n43:08 GM's EV trucks, the mid-gate, and wanting a hybrid Silverado EV\n47:48 Ram TRX vs Ford Raptor R showdown\n"},"annotations":[{"id":482581,"startTime":0.0,"endTime":0.0,"type":"concept","title":"hands free","url":"/glossary/hands-free","quote":"[628.2s] but they still had somebody behind the wheel\n[632.2s] because they are doing testing.","canonicalId":"concept:hands-free","priority":0.35,"confidence":0.4,"source":"gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"“Hands free” refers to driver-assistance or autonomous driving systems that reduce or remove the need for continuous driver input.
