TWC Podcast, Episode 18: It usually self corrects
By Phil Royle – June 10, 2021
Podcast co-hosts Phil Royle and Edward A. Sanchez discuss Ed’s latest Tesla mobile service call for an issue he figured would fix itself. Spoiler alert: it didn’t. Then it’s more RV talk, but with a strange Model S twist. Oh, and Ford unveils its Maverick pickup truck that comes standard as a hybrid, the Associated Press misses the point about EVs, Nissan delays the Ariya, and Ferrari might be making some giant steps toward electrification.
