Robotaxi Drama, Ford’s Price Hike And A Mitsubishi EV Glow Up?
Episode 180
No, I don’t have a Real ID (and I won’t be getting one anytime soon). In other news, Tesla attempted to trademark “Robotaxi” but gets rejected by the U.S. Patent Office, leaving fans on X suggesting names like “Roxi” for the futuristic ride. Then, Ford Motor Company raises prices on its Mexico-made models by up to $2,000, blaming Trump’s tariffs in a move that’s spicier than a Chick-fil-a spicy chicken sandwich. Meanwhile, Foxconn strikes a landmark deal to build EVs for Mitsubishi, forming an interesting partnership that could shake up the industry.
