In this episode I sit down with my friend Roberth who has followed Tesla and the car industry closely since about 10 years, he was also with me when I took delivery of my Tesla Model S in Stockholm, Sweden back in 2014 and we have been test driving many electric vehicles since, including a heavy truck! Also some of our experience from our long roadtrip with the Model S during a 4300 km´s or about 2800 miles long trip in Europe a couple of years ago.
We talk about why Tesla is still pioneering the automotive industry and the big manufacturers haven´t caught up. What´s Tesla´s biggest advantages right now and what can be learn from their disruption of the car industry?
And what about those "diesel dudes", seemingly stuck in an old perspective, are things about to change with the younger generation?
We also talk about the Swedish company Northvolt, founded and lead by (now CEO of Northvolt) and former Tesla executuve Peter Karlsson, building Europe´s largest lithium battery factory in Sweden.
