TWC Podcast #134: What Else Can We Pull out of This Hat?
By The Watt Car Staff — Aug. 31, 2023
Ford’s in the news with a confirmed Platinum Black edition of its F-150 Lightning, along with rumors of a Tremor EV variant. Pricing — well, lets just say they’re not for the weak of heart. Mercedes unveils pricing for its eSprinter, and while it’s not as pricey as a Platinum Black Edition Lightning, it ain’t pocket change. What might be affordable, however, is if Volkswagen opts to produce an electric Rabbit, which some reading social media tea leaves say is going to happen. What else is discussed on this week’s podcast? Listen to find out.
