TWC Podcast #128: Next Level Fakery
By Phil Royle — July 20, 2023
Hyundai was busy at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, debuting the Ioniq 5 N and running the RN22e. The 5 N sports more power than we thought, along with fake gear shifting; the RN22e, meanwhile, apparently struggles with corners. In other news, Canoo delivers Lifestyle Vehicles to NASA for the Artemis missions, Tesla preps for credit card payments at Superchargers, Ford cuts F-150 Lightning pricing (or does it?), the Cybertuck nears production (is it everything we hoped?), and more!
