About this episode
testNicole is back from the mouse house this week and driving the Mazda CX-50. Robbie had the Kia EV6 GT and Sam had a very different electric vehicle, the equally fast and porky GMC Hummer EV Edition 1.
In the news, noted Wall St analyst and Tesla promoter Adam Jonas says the Cybertruck, if and when it ever arrives probably isn't going to take major market share away from the F-150, Silverado, Sierra and Ram. Meanwhile there is another Tesla Autopilot related death and we remind you that there are NO self-driving cars available for sale from any automaker, so keep your eyes on the road. Elon Musk apparently wants to create a company town in Texas.
GM has revealed some details of the sensor suite on its upcoming Ultra Cruise system that will enable hand-off but eyes-on driving on more than 2 million miles of roads. Sam had a chance to play around with the new Unreal Engine powered infotainment system in the 2024 Ford Mustang and wonders if these fancy graphics provide any actual benefit beyond eye candy. Nissan Ariya production is lagging about 30% behind schedule and Robbie tries charging a BMW iX at a Tesla Supercharger.
