We update the hardware on our 2019 Tesla Model 3 SR+ and test out the latest FSD. The results are…well…mixed. We tell you all about it on this week’s podcast, along with what’s new at Rivian, how Virginia is opting out of CARB emissions requirements, which could lead to bad things — like what’s happening in Texas. We put all of that into context with a California emissions history lesson, chat about a diesel decline, and more!
