Podcast: Tesla Model YL, Q2 deliveries, BMW iX5, and more

This one's about electric vehicles, not home energy upgrades, so there isn't much here that touches your house directly. The roundup covers a weekly podcast discussing Tesla's new Model Y L (a six-seat version with 325 miles of range, priced at $61,990), Tesla's second-quarter delivery numbers, and a first look at the BMW iX5, which is being positioned with 525 miles of range and fast charging.

Other items on the list include Rivian's delivery results and an updated full-year outlook, a new electric Subaru Trailseeker starting at $40,000, and leadership changes at Lucid following layoffs. There's also mention of Tesla's driver-assistance software rollout and a small robotaxi service area in Miami.

None of this involves home electrification, weatherization, heat pumps, or rebate programs. If you're weighing an EV purchase alongside home upgrades like a heat pump or rooftop solar, the range and pricing figures here might be useful context, but there's no new information on tax credits, utility incentives, or charging equipment for your home.
