Tesla’s New Supercharger Rule: Will It Actually Work? | The Friday Charge EP85

Is the "Honor System" enough to save Tesla Superchargers?

In today’s episode, we are diving into a massive week for EVs. Tesla has finally launched its long-awaited "Virtual Queues" at 5 pilot locations, but there’s a catch: it doesn’t actually lock the stalls. Is this the end of Supercharger chaos, or just the beginning?

Plus, we cover:

Rivian’s "Agentic" Assistant: Rivian just leapfrogged Tesla’s voice tech with a new LLM that can actually control your vehicle’s ride height, drive modes, and even your Google Calendar.

Cadillac’s 100k Milestone: Caddy is officially an EV powerhouse, and surprisingly, 75% of their buyers are coming from other brands (looking at you, Tesla).

Mazda’s "Free" Delay: Mazda pushed their 2027 EV to 2029, but the real story is that it’s costing them $0. We explain why that’s a huge red flag for their EV development.

The Buzz is Back: VW announces the 2027 ID.Buzz. It finally gets One-Pedal Driving and a "Tourer" camper trim, but is the range still a dealbreaker?
