Description
Polestar joins a growing cadre of OEMs charging for enhanced performance. We don't like the concept, but at least Polestar is charging a one-time fee instead of a monthly subscription. Tyler Hoover of popular YouTube show "Hoovies garage" dumps his F-150 Lightning BEV because its range drops precipitously in cold weather. We talk about it. Dollars spent vs. results gained for autonomous vehicles is off in a big way. What's next? The guys talk car ads through the ages: which ones hit us, which ones missed? We had surprisingly consistent answers despite no foretalk. Then Stephan discusses a disturbing trend: US pedestrian deaths have been going up while declining elsewhere. What are we doing wrong? No matter--do what's right and listen in.
