Tesla’s FSD Problems, Ferrari EV Backlash, & Rivian’s Charging Glow-Up

Is the internet overreacting to Ferrari’s first-ever electric car? In this episode of the Plugged-In Podcast, Mack and Tim break down the massive wave of public backlash hitting the newly unveiled Ferrari Luce. Tim shares his firsthand thoughts after actually seeing Maranello's Jony Ive-designed EV up close, and explains why he thinks it’s actually cool. (Sorry!)

Plus, we look at the positive side of the electric transition: the EV charging grid is officially getting a glow-up. From Rivian hitting a major infrastructure milestone to Walmart and Electrify America making charging less of a headache, things are moving fast. Finally, we unpack a Reuters investigation that suggests Tesla might still be years away from truly scaling full self-driving technology.
