TWC Podcast #160: The Car’s Dead…Again
By The Watt Car Staff — Feb. 29, 2024
Is the Apple Car dead? Did it ever really exist? We discuss the past, present, and future of the vehicle that never was. We also chat about Cybertruck sightings, Elon Musk’s “Ludicrous” claims, Chinese manufacturers entering the U.S. market (will they or wont they…or have they already), the Nikola Badger returns (maybe), and so much more!
