Tesla Roadster Is Actually Coming? + NYC’s Massive Curbside Charging Plan

Is the long-delayed Tesla Roadster finally happening? On this episode of The Plugged-In Podcast, Mack and Tim react to Tesla’s surprise announcement setting an official October 1 unveil date—almost a decade after the concept first debuted. We break down what to expect and whether it’s for real this time.

Plus, we’re joined by Tiya Gordon, cofounder of the Brooklyn-based charging company It’s Electric, to talk about their major new contract with New York City to install hundreds of curbside EV chargers—and how street-level charging is solving the apartment-dweller dilemma.
