EV Channels Review

This episode of the CarsGuide Podcast delves into several automotive topics, with a significant portion dedicated to Elon Musk and Tesla. The discussion highlights the ongoing production challenges and delays with the Model 3, referencing a Bloomberg tracker showing significantly lower output than initially targeted. The presenters express skepticism about Tesla's ability to meet its ambitious production goals, drawing parallels to historical production struggles. Beyond Tesla, the podcast covers the high price point of the Ford Ranger Raptor, questioning the value of a four-cylinder engine in such an expensive ute. They also explore Holden's move to online sales, debating its impact on the dealer network and customer experience. The future of HSV is questioned, with the presenters suggesting the brand might be diluted by applying its badge to non-traditional models like the Colorado SportsCat, contrasting it with the success of AMG. The episode concludes with a review of the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-door and G63, and personal driving experiences with the BMW X5, Suzuki Baleno, and Peugeot 5008, noting the innovative, albeit divisive, vibrating seat feature in the Holden Equinox.
