This Tesla-focused episode dives deep into the hardware blueprint of the highly anticipated CyberCab, highlighting its ultra-efficient powertrain, 48-volt architecture, 4680 battery cells, and an exclusive upgraded AI4+ FSD computer with expanded RAM capacity. Bodie provides critical context for emergency personnel by breaking down the newly released CyberCab First Responder Guide, mapping out the specific protocols, chocking requirements, and sensor modalities needed to safely disable Level 4 autonomous mode on active scenes. The episode also tracks the expansion of Tesla's autonomous footprint with new unsupervised deployments in Miami and supervised networks in New Orleans. Finally, the show analyzes California's controversial new $135 million EV incentive structure, discusses a teased Grok assistant integration for precise driveway navigation, and breaks down an industry analyst's prediction that full self-driving is rapidly approaching its historic \"iPhone moment.\"\nSupport the Show\n\n \thttps://www.supportkilowatt.com/\n\nOther Podcasts:\n\n \tBeyond the Post YouTube\n \tBeyond the Post Podcast\n \tShuffle Playlist\n \t918Digital Website\n\nNews Links:\n\n \tNot a Tesla App: Tesla Cybercab Will Let You Change Air Vent Direction From the App\n \tElectrek: Tesla claims Cybercab driving employees at Giga Texas — in a parking lot\n \tNot a Tesla App: New Jersey Bill Wants Tesla to Add More Sensors to Robotaxis\n \tInsideEVs: New Jersey Law Would Outlaw Tesla's Camera-Based Robotaxi Tech\n \tTeslarati: Tesla analyst says Full Self-Driving is about to have its iPhone moment\n \tCleanTechnica: How Many Tesla Robotaxis Are In Miami?\n \tNot a Tesla App: Tesla Cybercab Has New Ultra-Efficient Powertrain, 4680 Batteries, 48V & More\n \tNot a Tesla App: Tesla VP Confirms Grok FSD Integration is Coming Soon\n \tNot a Tesla App: Exclusive: Tesla Cybercab Includes More Powerful FSD Hardware\n \tNot a Tesla App: Tesla Robotaxi App Now Tells You If Your Ride Has a Safety Driver\n \tNot a Tesla App: Inside Tesla Cybercab's Level 4 'Autonomous Mode'\n \tTeslarati: Tesla reveals huge Cybercab detail in new guide for First Responders\n \t*Show Art Created By Gemini\n Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
