TWC Podcast #87: Alex Jones and EV Lies

By The Watt Car Staff — Oct. 6, 2022

What starts as another jovial episode of the podcast takes a turn when Info Wars enters the conversation. But before we get there, we discuss the Tesla Bot, hurricanes, Maserati’s first EV, global EV sales, sky high monthly car payments, failed Rivian R1T operation — and then a rant on Alex Jones.
