ACURA RDX, SHIFTER GAFFE IN CHRYSLER AD, TESLA MODEL 3 RECOMMENDED FOR TEENS? | TALKING CARS #155

EV Channels Review

The Talking Cars team discusses a notable gaffe in a Chrysler commercial highlighting confusing controls, then pivots to their long-term test of the 2019 Acura RDX. While praising the RDX's performance, fit, finish, and safety features, they heavily criticize its infotainment system, particularly the touchpad interface and shifter buttons, deeming them distracting and unintuitive. The review also touches on the subjective nature of 'fun to drive,' the reasons behind inconsistent crash test side reinforcement, and the unsuitability of the Tesla Model 3 for teen drivers due to its performance and lack of current parental controls, though acknowledging potential future over-the-air updates.
