Episode Description
After years of hype, the 2026 Rivian R2 has arrived. We discuss its final pricing and specs. Is the $45,000 R2 a good buy? How does the R2 Performance stack up to a Tesla Model Y?
Plus, Mack drove the 2027 Chevy Bolt and tells us why he liked the rebooted $28,995 EV. Chevy fixed a lot of the issues with the old model, but there’s one big catch: The new Bolt won’t be around for long.
