Disclaimer: We experienced some technical difficulties during our recording. We apologize for the less than optimal sound quality.
Description-
We begin Podcast #5 by discussing the road trip that Mike just went and how his Model 3 handled it. We then consider how the road trip experience may be changed by the possibility of Superchargers opening up to other EVs. We say happy birthday to the Model 3, which turned 6 today. We discuss the rumors of FSD Beta expansion to new rumors. Finally we respond to viewer questions about other EVs such as the Polestar and BMW i4, and how many EVs are not as mod-friendly as Tesla's vehicles.

We start out TMC Podcast #7 by introducing our special guest, Carl Medlock, AKA "The Roadster Whisperer". Carl is a former employee of Tesla, and now is known as the preeminent Roadster expert. Carl runs a shop with his sons in Seattle, Washington, where he will routinely have north of 40 Roadsters in there at any given time. Carl is making a massive contribution to the continued maintenance and operation of Tesla Roadsters that are still on the road. Carl tells us his story of time at Tesla, and how he started subsequently working on Roadsters. We then discuss various topics with him such as Elon's April 14 + 17 TED interviews, Carl's thoughts on FSD, an off-topic story about an Al Qaeda drop car, the news that the mobile connector is now not included by default in new Tesla vehicle purchases, and much more. We also answer viewer questions.
