EV Channels Review
This episode of 'Tools in the Shed' delves into the exciting resurgence of affordable performance cars, with a particular focus on upcoming models from Toyota (GR Yaris), Hyundai (RM19 concept), and potentially Subaru/Toyota collaborations. The hosts express enthusiasm for this trend, contrasting it with the recent dominance of electric and autonomous vehicle discussions. The review also touches upon the practicalities of towing with the Ram 1500 diesel, noting its limitations despite its size, and discusses the enduring appeal and slight predictability of the VW Golf GTI. The Audi Q7's return to the Australian market after an emissions system issue is highlighted, alongside the Hyundai Ioniq's competent but somewhat 'appliance-like' electric driving experience. The 'MuskWatch' segment covers SpaceX's Starship prototype failure, the anticipated Cybertruck reveal, concerns over satellite pollution impacting astronomy, and Tesla's fluctuating share price.
