This Crow Tastes Like Tears

Episode 612

Sunday, June 22, 2025 • Duration 29:26

Episode Description:

In this episode of Kilowatt, I explore the evolving landscape of electric vehicles and renewable energy, with an emphasis on Tesla's full self-driving technology in Austin. Initially focusing on full self-driving, I soon uncover compelling topics such as in-wheel hub motors and extended range electric vehicles (EREVs). I discuss the advantages of in-wheel hub motors, including increased efficiency and the potential for easier EV conversions, while also addressing challenges such as ride quality and durability. The conversation then shifts to EREVs, which utilize a gas generator to charge the battery, providing a practical solution for those hesitant to fully adopt electric vehicles. I reflect on the historical origins of this concept and consider its appeal as a middle ground for families. I conclude by teasing future insights into Tesla’s developments, inviting listeners to engage with the complexities of automotive innovation.

Description:

In this episode, I delve into Tesla's 2024 shareholder meeting, shedding light on the proposed items and responses. As we navigate through the shareholder proposals, one advocates for shorter director terms for enhanced accountability, while the other pushes for a simple majority vote.

I also address various stockholder proposals concerning Tesla's transparency, executive compensation, sustainability metrics, and deep-sea mining. I emphasize the importance of transparency in Tesla's reporting and the value of third-party evaluations of technologies. The issue of executive compensation is explored, suggesting a link to employee pay. Proposals on incorporating sustainability metrics into compensation plans and imposing a moratorium on deep-sea mining are discussed, stressing the need for informed decision-making in evaluating these proposals. I provide a summary of the stockholder vote results on Tesla's proposals and highlight the intricacies of producing this episode while emphasizing the significance of understanding Tesla's stance for future coverage.
