About this episode

Mack and Tim discuss listener questions about the future of the Tesla Cybertruck and various EV topics.

This week’s episode is a special one, as Mack and Tim take some time to go through listener questions and comments. What would happen to startups like Lucid and Rivian if Chinese EVs were allowed into the U.S.? Is the Tesla Cybertruck doomed? What’s going to win out, the Rivian R2 or the BMW iX3? Was the EV tax credit just a handout to the rich? Why doesn’t Tim have an EV (yet)? The guys dig into all of these questions and more on this week’s episode.
