Andrew Lambrecht owns a Tesla Model 3, freelance writes for several EV publications, and is a graduating engineering student who's interned at startups like Lucid Motors. Max speaks to him to get a sense of where Tesla lies as a company in 2025 amidst a chaotic and unpredictable CEO, global headwinds, an aging product lineup, and revolt among some of its most formerly loyal customers.

While we've explored the polling data behind this at EV Politics (and will continue to do so!) it's worth hearing from an educated expert on the company and someone invested in its product on where they stand. Even if you hold your nose and decide to buy a Tesla, how competitive are they when you can buy a Hyundai IONIQ 5, Mustang Mach-E, or even lightly used older Tesla for less? Max and Andrew also go over the story by analyzing their colleague John Voelcker's excellent piece on Tesla's messy, seemingly unbreakable bond with Elon Musk.
