Polestar Banned, Volvo Saved, Autonomous Driving is Hard: TWC Podcast 277

By Phil Royle – July 2, 2026 Turns out, a vehicle needn’t be made in China for the U.S. to chuck it from these shores for being a Chinese car, but was Polestar simply a sacrificial lamb for Geely, since Volvo’s presence has been spared?

Rivian R2 First Drives Arrive, Slate Partners with Carvana: TWC Podcast 274

By Phil Royle — June 11, 2026 The Rivian R2 is in the hands of journalists, and the reviews are in. On this week’s podcast, we discuss whether the sprightly new offering from this EV maker will be enough to take on Tesla and its dominant Model Y. Things are looking good for Rivian, but are they also looking good for the likes of Slate and Telo, especially with Ford’s new low cost EV pickup being developed? We stare into our crystal ball to see whether Ford is about to wipe the slate clean.
