Listen "TWC Podcast #179: Floundering Forward"
Episode Synopsis
Lucid’s Air sales are thin, but could they be affecting Tesla Model S sales? And speaking of the Model S, is the luxury sedan actually floundering, with no solid footing in the future? We discuss the possibilities. We also chat about Rivian’s partnership with VW, Fisker’s multi-thousand-car sale, NASCAR’s electric concept, and more!Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible, Spotify, Stitcher, PocketCasts, iHeartRadio, Podbean, and more!
