AKA The Bearded Tesla Guy
I grew up in a Chrysler dealership, working on cars from 15 until I graduated from Purdue University. All the males in my family have been associated with cars for the last 4 generations, so it’s in our blood. Although my family is more “traditional” when it comes to the automotive world, I took delivery of one of the first Tesla Model Y’s in April of 2020. I started sharing the ownership experience from the perspective of a family man, including day in the life, road trips, price analysis, tax credits, etc. I never expected things to turn out the way they did, but thanks to an amazing group of people who continue to tune in, I was able to start doing YouTube full time in February 2023.

FutureAzA (formerly MyTeslaWeekend)
Few know what's going on inside Tesla's factories more intimately than Brian, and nobody who isn't bound by a non-disclosure agreement. When only a few dozen vertical columns were up in Austin, he mathematically modeled the completion date of the 9-million square foot facility to within two weeks and published weekly updates tracking it, and his quarterly production estimates have beaten Wall Street analysts in 12 of the 13 quarters he's published them. His channel covers EVs across all brands with a heavy emphasis on Tesla, but also other tech innovations like logistics, production systems, and battery technology. He's been a speaker at Fully Charged in three different countries, as well as Tesla and EV Owner clubs from coast to coast.

Kyle and his team are committed to bringing honest, thorough, and transparent automotive content to audiences.
Tesla Fix
I'm Jan Vogel, a passionate Communication Designer and Content Creator located in Germany, whose work in Marketing and Video Production led to a master's thesis comparing Tesla's innovative culture with VW's traditional approach. The creation of my podcast TeslaFix, was a natural extension of my thesis work, initiated by an enlightening interview with former Tesla employee and influencer Farzad Mesbahi. My goal is to weave together voices from the Tesla community, showcasing the company's culture, innovations and the spirit that drives it forward.
From its inception, the focus of TeslaFix was on an American audience, designed to provide fresh European insights into Tesl, to bridge the cultural and informational gap across the Atlantic. My vision is to enrich the American understanding of Tesla with diverse European viewpoints and experiences. I want to offer a global perspective on Tesla's impact and the cultural contexts it operates within. As TeslaFix grows, I remain committed to fostering a community of critical thinkers and sustainability advocates, hoping to inspire broader conversations about electric vehicles, sustainable practices and the transformative potential of Tesla in creating a greener, more sustainable world.
