Tesla Recall, Pets in Crisis, and the 702 vs. 725 Debate
The recall of 2 million Teslas this week for problems with the autopilot software was months in the making — but it’s got us thinking in Las Vegas: What does this mean for the Las Vegas Loop? On today’s Friday news roundup, co-hosts Sarah Lohman and Dayvid Figler sit down with contributor Andrew Kiraly to break down why the vehicles were recalled, and what it says about Elon Musk’s Boring Co. ambitions. Next up, the beleaguered Animal Foundation gets new funding (and apparently more oversight) at the same time that a puppy sale ban goes into effect — could this be a turning point for our pets in crisis? And lastly, with the 25th anniversary of the 775 area code this week, and the 10th anniversary of 725 taking place next year, we ask, only half-tongue-in-cheek: What kind of cachet does an OG 702 number carry?
