Welcome to quick charge. It's november eleven, twenty twenty four, and i'm your host, joe boris. The most exciting news the day definitely has to be this article from fdd lab r.

Tesla has been spotted testing the new cyber cabral taxi on giga texas roads. When tesla veiled the cyber tab last month, they didn't IT the Warner brothers studio lot, and IT did so for good reason. Tesla wanted to demonstrate what a self driving robot taxi fleet would look like Operating in a city.

The studio a lot can look like a small city, but it's all private roads. And that's the real reason tesla did what I did. The automatic er has yet to seek self driving test permits and instead tesla zed, on its quote, supervised full self driving being classified IT as a level two driver asic system where the driver is always responsible for what the vehicle does.

Under these conditions, tesla is able to test its system in its existing vehicle lineup. But the cyber cabbage difference, since IT doesn't have a string wheel or peddles for humans to intervene with. Now tesla has been spotted testing the cybercafe around its giga factory, texas in Austin.

Tesla has avoided using its software technology in california for years to avoid the california D N B data reporting rules during tesla. Last and call C E O elon mask, head of self driving ash gala swarm, said the tesla aims for its supervised full self driving system to reach over six hundred thousand miles between these engagements by q two of next year. At that point, tesla plans to launch its unsupervised self driving system ahead of the cybercafe hit the market later in twenty twenty six.

Of course, IT is worth noting that tesla aspirational goals are one thing, while the current data available points to tesla being at around one hundred and ninety miles between critical diageo. So just about five hundred and ninety thousand, eight hundred and ten miles to go for that. But that's not the only tesla news that we have over a europe.

Tesla is turning you back to free super charging and big discounts in an effort to boost sales down IT must be said, the tesla is not having a Stellar year in europe. And according to E, U, E, B, S, the automaker has delivered fully eighty five thousand fewer vehicles in the continent so far this year. In q four, tesla aims to deliver a record number of at least five hundred and fifteen thousand vehicles, and IT will have to reverse a current trend to make that happen.

The company is now putting some strong incentive in place to try meet those sales goals. Is offering a year of free super charging for people who take delivery of a new vehicle by the end of the quarter. In europe, now we talk about tesla.

We also have to talk about the largest elective vehicle manufacturer on the planet, B, Y, D. And in a first, byd looks set to top of ford on total deliveries. Chinese powerhouse byd continues to perform well, and IT looks like it's going to outperform ford in terms of annual vehicle deliveries this year to be a major milestone for the company and place IT firmly in the ranks as a top ten global automaker.

Last month, byd delivered five hundred thirty four thousand vehicles, a number that puts IT nearly on power with ford year to date. According to bloomberg, ford only reported its global sales on a correctly basis is hibor, but has been averaging around one point one million vehicles per corner for the past three periods. Byd has already top tesla on quarterly revenue for the first time as electric reported earlier.

Tesla, for its part, fell short on expectations with twenty five point four seven billion dollars of q three revenue growth margins climb in one nine point eight compared to B Y. These growth margins reaching twenty one point nine in the third quarter, up from eighteen point seventeen. Youtube go getting to four million is a studying milestone auto industry consulting, Michael dn told bloomberg, referring to the company's annual delivery target quote.

Byd will soon be seeing ford in its review. Mayor, byd looks to sail past its first big free to trait automatic er, with demand in china fuelled by generous government subsidies encouraging people to trade in their older evs or ice vehicles for something new, with byd offering a competitive lineup of hybrids. That cell extremely well in china as well as B, E, V.

Now that's not the only news for china. This is a seven hundred and sixty five hours power out e IT. This is the four rings and keeps the sexy wagg anesthetic. Now this is a really interesting concept because even though IT is called oui and IT is made by the german automaker, er that's part of the vox swag group out.

This is not the same company already says that this vehicle, which does not have that iconic auto union hundred year old four rings logo anywhere on the vehicle and instead replaces that with four capital letters that spell out A U. D. They are insisting that this is a completely new brand that they're going to be launching specifically for E S, and specifically in the chinese market code developed with chinese auto giant.

The O D E concept is about four point eight meters long, putting IT squarely in that B M W five series Mercedes e class range. They typically gets inhabited by the out a six, the vehicles powered by two elegant motors that put out a combined five hundred and seven kilowatts and eight hundred note meters that's about seven hundred and sixty five horsepower and five hundred and ninety time you to talk through the ground using signature ali quarter for real drive. Now, of course, like many E, D, C producers, all will drive.

But this quarter system is something that already the german brand has been very, very famous for, for decades. And now there, pushing that onto alty the chinese brand as a way to somehow connect the two dots without really connecting the two dots. The concept cars equipped with a hundred kill a one, our battery ack that ali parent company already is weird.

That is good for more than four hundred miles of range on the chinese duty cycle. The wagon has advanced digitized platform that both in eight hundred bold system of architectural, enables superfast charging of more than two hundred and twenty miles a brain in just about ten minutes. Now I don't understand why aud is looking to make a more affordable auto brand when they already have vox wagon.

But h hey, those kids are doing really well. So ah i'm sure we've got, uh, smart people working on this. We've forgot that all figured out.

In case you didn't catch that, that was sarcasm. They are not doing really well. But someone who is doing really well is blue di.

And it's no surprise that, that's the case because they are leading provider of sustainable energy solutions and they're specializing in portable power station solar generators and energy storage systems, not only for the home, but that you can take with you as a provider of dependable and portable energy solutions for what he has become an industry leader with the presence and over one hundred countries that is trusted by millions of customers worldwide.

When you talk about big power and you talk about big amounts of store energy, you want to talk about the biggest batteries that are out there. You would be hard press to find a bigger battery than the one in the mac electric L. R.

And now two of those mac electric and our garbage trucks are the first heavy duty electric vehicles working in deployment in state of wisconsin in twenty seventeen, in the city of medicine, became the twenty five north american cities, said a net zero carbon go for the city Operations by twenty thirty, and for the city as a whole by twenty fifty. To that end, the city has begun electrifying its heavy truck and equipment fleet with the deployment of two mac electric L R H D E D S. Reportedly, the first two class eight bands be deployed in america's.

David, one of the reasons were going all in on electrification is because it's Better for the environment, explains medicine. Mayor, satire, roads, conway. These refuge trucks hit every single block in the city of medicine.

That is a lot of diesel fumes in our neither hoods. If we can take even one diesel truck off the streets, it's gonna a win for our community. Can argue with that. She's absolutely right. And these big class set neck truck are powered by a pair of electric motors putting out four hundred combine til the two speed mac, powerful transmission that offers a barely believable four thousand pound phy of p tor. That's more than forty percent more power than the first generation l.

Our electric, which mac release in twenty and this iteration can charge the three hundred and seven six kilowatt batteries fully in under two hours with one hundred and fifty kilowatts, are now know we like to end the shows talking about the environment, talking about the grid. But we don't necessarily mean the american grid in today's show is about the australian grid. The australian government has cleared the way for E S, to help save the grid with vehicle to grid technology.

Later this summer, the australian government has announced that are plans to allow ebs in the country to use v to g by director, charging as early as Christmas of this year, right at the start of the australian summer that promises to be one of the hottest st ever. And of course, in hot climates and during hot seasons, electric grids get stressed both simply from the heat itself, reducing efficiency of transmission power, and due to the higher usage of air condition and refrigeration. This can lead to power out Brown outs during peak hours, particularly as the sun starts to set and solar generation goes down, but homes remain warm.

The climate change has only made this problem worse as hotter days become hotter and more common, especially in climate tes, like australia's deserts, access to rapidly dispatch table grid tied energy storage can help mitigate these issues and the status. South australia, a world leader in renewables, was an early leader in installing large great tide batteries when they built the horns dale power reserve in twenty seven to ensure the renewable power remain stored to be used at dusk on these hot days, while big grid de batteries are a great answer for a media power back up. Distributed gid stories like that found in evs can also do the job, and homeowners who have home batteries installed can even make a little extra money by helping to save the grid.

In one of the world's largest virtual power plants is also south auto. So we love to see that. We love to read about that.

Obviously love having blue di is response. We can read that right over my head. Be sure to like and subscribed and read more about why I was driving a mustain G T mark e.

All over the circle of the americans this weekend haven't gotten that one on the site yet. Will talk all about IT tomorrow with some special videos and photos. You won't wanna miss that.
