Downloads on Apple days late, sometimes wrong episodes, surprising from a Mac affiliated company

Used to be my to go EV show, now I cannot stand them as all they do they criticize the only successful American electric car company!

My title pretty much sums up this podcast. Fred acts like he’s being a saint by occasionally saying something nice about Tesla or Elon. In reality it’s just his way of excusing himself for unfairly criticizing them to no end later. As for Seth, he’ll spare no opportunity to bash the company while giving Rivian the benefit of the doubt while they continue to lose billions. Tesla is not perfect but neither is any other company. Elon is not perfect. Neither is any other human being. But Fred and Seth expect them to be or else here comes the bashing. FSD V12 is amazing and instead of conceding that they were wrong, they continue to claim that it’s garbage. Ridiculous.

This weekly covers a range of EV issues with a substantial covers of Tesla. I especially appreciate their takes on Elon maneuvers and industry information. Fresh every week. Keep up the good work.

Used to like this show when it was positive. The hosts do not seem tolerant of folks in the middle anymore and complain way too much about twitter and PR. Frequently say ‘not a good look’

Too much Tesla bias

The show only provides EV news. The hosts don’t have enough engineering background to lead in-depth conversations. The hosts have enough general knowledge and some ok logic. Recently the hosts showed a lot of prejudice conversations against Elon. Their Elon’s hatred is obvious but they claims they are not. All of the negative conversations attached with Elon and Tesla helped to get more people join the conversations/ arguments which increases internet traffic for the show and benefits the show. This is not a good way to do business in my opinion. It’s similar to the way majority of media is doing right now.

Disappointed in how these two hosts focus episode after episode on Elon. Every episode is about Elon and not electric vehicles and other products. The opinions of Elon has affected the hosts ability to run a productive and exciting show. This used to be a great podcast for many years. Now this is simply a political driven show. There are many better podcasts on EVs.

This is the best podcast on one of the most important issues facing humanity! The information here is unbiased and invaluable. I recommend this to anybody, the questions at the end alone are worth the price of admission!

This podcast used to deliver news in an unbiased fashion. Seems they have developed a serious dislike of Elon Musk which clearly impacts their reporting. Apparently Fred believes because he owns a few shares of Tesla gives him license to tilt almost all reporting of Tesla negative. Seth love lol lol cut Rivian slack and beat up on Tesla at every turn. They need to keep their bias in check if they want to consider themselves ‘journalists’.

Awesome show with plenty of knowledge to go around and keep up with the constant evolution of EVs.

You two are have put together a wonderful show. You are a staple in my podcast listening, especially when I was the market for an EV (and just as much since I bought an EV). I have one thing to share that might improve the show…Fred please don’t cut Seth off as he is speaking. Your audience would really like to hear his full thoughts. For example listen to the last show, to be more exact listen to the portion when Seth starts to speak on the Cybertruck delivery event and the baseball is brought up. In those moments Fred you don’t have to jump in and try to correct Seth, let him speak; it helps with the flow of the show. I gave 4 of 5, but if you can correct that I would be extremely happy to give 5 of 5. Thanks for the time.

Why does Apple make it so hard to give a review? This podcast has been a staple in my library for years now. Just now getting around to giving a review. I had no idea. It would be so hard to figure it out. I had to go to YouTube. Why can’t you just click on the three dots and say review? Keep up the great work guys!

They play it straight and unbiased. Unafraid. I wish every news source was exactly like this.

Every week Fred and Seth make a podcast of their livestream video show about electric vehicles. I’ve never watched the live show but I listen to the podcast every week. They are knowledgeable and humble as they discuss important developments in the field, as well as answering viewers questions from the livestream. I appreciate their integrity and even-handedness in reporting. Also, there is only one ad-break, read by the hosts, and it is usually for a company related to electric vehicles so it may even be of interest. This podcast is worth checking out if you own or are considering buying an electric vehicle, or even if you are just interested in developments in the field of EVs.

Very good. Seth and Fred are not stressful to listen to. Very knowledgeable. Just one thing Fred: Reuters is pronounced “roy-ters”.

I really want to like this podcast because they are generally really thorough and one of the most in depth EV and energy podcasts but after a few episodes it’s become fairly apparent that they have certain brands they report more positively on and others they are consistently overly critical of. They report the facts and figures well but a bit more objectivity in the commentary and analysis of those facts and figures would be welcome and help to lessen the impression that they are reporting with an agenda.

Electrek covers the entire EV industry but the podcast skews heavily towards Tesla headlines and largely ignores or minimizes every other EV player and the major EV news of the week. If you really want some quality Tesla-focused news, there are better podcasts available.

I’ve listened for several years and I can hardly wait for each new episode. These guys are like a calming voice at the end of the week and their honesty and integrity make this a must-listen for me.

A great way to get a weekly summary of all things EV!

I have been a reader of Electrek website since 2014. I visit it several times every say. The electrek podcast is honest, fact based, and pleasure to listen to. Both Seth and Fred have been doing a phenomenal job as hosts, and provide honest news, and views on everything Tesla and EV related. They keep the show PG or PG-13, and do Q&A at the end of each episode. I highly recommend this podcast to everyone.

I rely on Electrek for authoritative news on the state of the EV industry. Others focus on vehicle reviews and specific components of the EV world, but Electrek is best for broad and thorough coverage. I feel that listening to their weekly podcast keeps me informed on anything that’s worth knowing.

This is a wonderful show that is jammed full of Tesla and other EV news. They aren’t Elon sycophants. They don’t talk about their dog or promote their sponsors at the end of the show. They report EV news in a fair and unbiased manner. They are my go-to source for EV news.

This podcast is one of the best EV podcasts I have run across.

Fred: “We are LIVE. Seth, how are you doing this week?” Seth: “I’m good”. Seth is always good. Not great, not bad, just good. … and that’s a good thing because the show is consistently interesting, full of timely information, and always a worthwhile listen. I enjoy the reviews on the test rides. I am a Tesla owner and yes, the show is Tesla forward but that’s the industry right now. No complaints from me, keep up the great work! BTW, if you listen for nothing else, then enjoy Fred’s attempt at pronouncing (butchering) names and cities. Always a good time.

Always enjoy listening to the show. Great, unbiased journalism. Can’t wait for the latest episode to drop each week to hear their take on the news in the EV world. Keep up the good work!

These two guys are good at pointing out the good and the bad in the industry. They also have a ton of in-depth knowledge and insight. I prefer this kind of reporting to the usual “raging Tesla bull” channels.

I have been enjoying the show over the past several weeks and look forward to it each Friday. I appreciate the mix of technical info and discussion of the overall EV situation. I agree with the other commentor regarding politics… It’s part of the situation, has an immense impact on our transition to electric vehicles and must be taken into account and discussed.

I enjoy the coverage. They are a very good source as to the health of the transition to EV’s for the auto industry. It is good to hear the criticism of Tesla’s faults but also acknowledging of the status and changes within the industry.

Great show, i look for it every Friday. I prefer shows with two hosts that can have a little banter. Regarding politics…. Uh electric car adoption is heavily influenced by it so… I mean if you just want a car review podcast, there are other shows for that. This show though talks about everything happing in the EV world.

I absolutely love Electrek. It’s my go to source for news on Tesla, electric vehicles, green energy, etc. Absolutely love this channel and cannot say it enough.

Tesla vowed to always lower prices as much as possible to promote the conversion to electric vehicles. They strayed from that path over the last few years but I am pleased to see them getting back on track, no matter their motive.

Name is electrik but mostly a Tesla apologist podcast. Seems like a Tesla advertisement.

Agree with other commenters. Should focus on EVs and not their opinion on Elon Musk.

The Electrek Podcast is an excellent weekly summary of electric vehicle news. I have discovered so much useful information by listening to this pod.

Electrek is a convenient, smart and enjoyable podcast to be listened as soon as a new episode is available. I normally listen to the shows while I am driving. I recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to be on top at the electric vehicles News

I do enjoy the show and listen to it frequently but I would prefer the few occasions you talk about it do yourself a favor and keep on topic.

These two fellas keep up on the latest EV developments and provide invaluable details.

I really enjoy this podcast and it’s where i get my information on EVs and anything related.

Love the content! Frank and Seth are great EV nerds, but they are real and do not pretend everything is roses. They give you real news, not fake.

I love how they give fair and balanced reviews on EVs and aren’t just toxic Elon fanboys - they are clearly fans of Tesla and fans of EV in general.

Have been enjoying your podcast for a few years now. Love the realistic view of Tesla. I’m a big fan but also think Elon needs some honest feedback. The totally fanboys are doing more harm than they realize.

This show is comprehensive and pleasantly geeky, both of which I like. The hosts are knowledgeable and able explainers. I appreciate their clean good humor and affability.

Love you guys!! Great coverage very fair. Keep up the great work!!

I used to really like Electrek, but the baseless hit piece on Fisker, one of the few makers doing the morally responsible thing and incporporating as much recycled materials as possible. Since I’ve been rethinking a lot of other articles I read from this source as well, and it all drips of bias. Electrek has a lot of foreign partners, and it seems they have allegiances to them that affect their “reporting”. If I wanted disingenuous stories meant to dishearten people, I’d listen to NewsMax…

I feel the podcast would benefit from better production values, such as editing out fillers and long pauses. In addition to that, consider hiring a voice coach. A good podcast to emulate is Ride The Lightning: The Unofficial Tesla Podcast. The host comes across as enthusiastic, but he is in control of his voice tone and cadence. I prefer a more subdued tone of voice, so I can listen at 2x. As of May 2022, I can’t recommend this podcast to anyone, but I hope it continues to improve.

Some of the shows are really fun and enjoyable. When there is a new product for them to talk about you can feel the excitement but, when there isn’t anything for them to talk about they are grasping at straws. The episode I’m currently listening to has been 35 minutes of the Elon sexual misconduct allegations. Sure I see a point in maybe mentioning it but, talking about it for 35 minutes when this podcast is suppose to be able EV’s is a bit ridiculous. Please try to stick to the topic of the channel and not the personal lives CEOs of electric companies

I want to like this show. I enjoy the news and opinions they have but both hosts constantly make snide remarks (usually against Tesla). Makes me feel they have a chip on their shoulders so I end up discounting what they say. If that’s how they want to run the show that’s fine. It’s not for me. Not sure why they don’t start their own EV company since they seem to always have the right answers.

This week, January 21, they made chapter markers. I like this, and extensive episode notes with links motivated me to give them 5 stars and write this review. I know it takes effort to do these things and I appreciate the effort and the result.

Seth and Fred are greet to listen to , they are laid back and well informed on the current EV news.
