<h2>Episode Description (Kilowatt 684)</h2>
<p>In this episode, Bodie shares a quick community update and an <strong>ad swap</strong> with the <strong>Car Stuff Podcast</strong> and <strong>The Final Lap Weekly</strong>, then jumps into a packed round-up of EV and clean-tech headlines. The Tesla segment includes a customer service story, Cybertruck pricing news, global expansion updates, and fresh Full Self-Driving chatter (including international approvals and new driver-behavior features). From there, Bodie covers broader industry movement with NIO’s momentum and partnerships, plus an Aptera progress check-in as the solar EV startup pushes toward production. The battery conversation centers on <strong>Donut Lab’s latest solid-state testing </strong>and what the results might (and might not) mean for real-world EV performance. Finally, Bodie spotlights the <strong>Nosh AI Chef</strong> project and closes with a proud parent moment celebrating <strong>Sierra’s latest YouTube success</strong>.</p>
