About this episode

Elon Musk teases a new vehicle while discussing the imminent arrival of the Model Y and updates on FSD Supervised in Europe.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is teasing a new vehicle that may or may not match the "Cyburban" I told you about in a recent episode. Plus: more evidence that the Model Y L's arrival in the United States is imminent, FSD Supervised takes a crucial step closer to rolling out in Europe, Sony's PlayStation car will not be going into production, and more!
