About this episode
What happens when one of the coolest EVs on the road suddenly becomes a $60,000+ paperweight?
Today on Turn Down For Watt, we’re joined by Alan Meyer of TesCalendar to talk about what happened when his Volkswagen ID. Buzz bricked and had to be towed away.
Alan has owned his Buzz for more than a year and has been a huge fan of the van—but this time, something went seriously wrong. We dig into what happened, what Alan experienced trying to get the Buzz back on the road, and what this kind of failure means for EV owners.
We’ll also talk about TesCalendar, Alan’s annual Tesla-themed calendar and the tree-planting initiative connected to it, along with how the project has grown into a community-driven effort supporting sustainability and other causes.
And of course, we’ll get into the bigger question:
Can you trust an EV when something this serious goes wrong?
