EV Channels Review

This episode of 'Tools in the Shed' focuses heavily on the anticipated Toyota Corolla GR, with the hosts confirming its imminent arrival and discussing its potential impact. The GR Yaris's successful powertrain is expected to be the heart of the Corolla GR, featuring a 1.6-liter three-cylinder engine producing 200kW and 370Nm, coupled with an AWD system and a manual gearbox. While the GR Corolla is praised for its performance potential and aggressive styling, its practicality is noted as a potential downside. The hosts also briefly touch upon other vehicles, including the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid Coupe, Nissan Pathfinder N-Trek Special Edition, and Maserati Levante Trofeo Launch Edition, highlighting their luxury and performance aspects. The latter half of the podcast delves into Elon Musk's controversial handling of Tesla factory reopenings during the pandemic and his public persona, contrasting his past as a visionary with his current image as a profit-driven executive. The discussion also touches on the Tesla share price and Musk's tweet about its overvaluation.
