WHY YOU SHOULD BE HUNTING FOR A NEW CAR DEAL - TOOLS IN THE SHED EP. 108

EV Channels Review

This episode of Tools in the Shed delves into the Australian new car market's ongoing sales decline, presenting it as a prime opportunity for buyers to negotiate deals. The hosts also explore the psychological drivers behind off-roading and camping. The review highlights the Porsche Taycan as a "weapon" and a "fabulous bit of kit," praising its driving dynamics and engineering that match its acceleration, particularly noting the "repeatability" of its performance thanks to its 800-volt architecture and two-speed gearbox. While charging times and range are standard for the segment, the Taycan's performance, especially the Turbo S's sub-11-second quarter-mile, is exceptional. The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon diesel is discussed ahead of a towing test, with initial impressions noting its improved on-road manners and quietness. The Audi A5 Coupe is described as a competent, refined, and good-looking premium 2+2 coupe, offering good value for its price point, though not particularly exciting. The "MuskWatch" segment covers the upcoming Cybertruck reveal, SpaceX's ambitious Starship cost reduction goals, and Tesla's rapid Shanghai factory progress.
