Episode Highlights:
“People don't care if it's AI-generated images, and soon-to-be AI-generated videos as well, as long as it suits their narrative.” - 6:00 - Jason Kapadia
“This car is different from the other Teslas. It can only be charged wirelessly by inductive charging, so there was no plug to plug anything in. There's none of these inductive charges anywhere in the world at the moment.” - 16:23 - Jason Kapadia
“My wider concern around Robotaxis is that I don't think it solves a problem in the same way that Uber and Lyft did when they came along.” - 24:45 - Jag Sharma
“When we think about reframing the idea of car ownership, I think the original mission has shifted a bit.” - 31:10 - Jag Sharma
