First Jeep EV, Mazda's Upscale Strategy, The Cybertruck is a Flop

The hosts opened the show discussing an article recently posted by Tom called, The Cybertruck is a Flop. Though the article covers the failures of the Tesla pickup truck from a number of angles, Tom primarily discussed the slow-selling vehicle’s financial impact on Tesla’s future. Still in the first segment, the hosts covered news of a potentially huge recall which would affect all of General Motors’ large trucks, including the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. The recall would impact up to 900,000 vehicles equipped with the maker’s 6.2-liter V8 engine. Next, Jill shared her impressions of the all-new Jeep Wagoneer S electric midsize crossover. The new Jeep promises more than 300 miles of range, and is being introduced only in Launch Edition trim. Listen in for prices. In the second segment, Jill and Tom are joined by Mazda’s Jon Leverett, the maker’s Launch Strategy Project Manager. Jon talked about the changing crossover segment, and Mazda’s slow but purposeful move upmarket. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom’s “Best Selling Sedans” quiz, which includes a New Zealand fast-food bonus question.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
