Can The Electric Jeep Recon Beat The Wrangler? + Ford’s Fight With The Trump Administration

About this episode

The Jeep Recon is here. With removable doors, chunky tires, and a charming look, does the first real Jeep EV hold a candle to the Wrangler? In some ways, the EV comes out on top. On this week’s Plugged-In Podcast, the guys discuss Mack’s first impressions of the Recon after driving it both on- and off-road. They also break down the Tesla Cybercab’s long-awaited launch, what we learned last week, and the big questions that still stick out. They also recap the brutal letter Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sent to Ford CEO Jim Farley about its ties to Chinese companies.  Plus, Mack takes his first ride in Waymo’s new Ojai robotaxi in San Diego, and we drool over the wild SkyNomad N90 Max Studio, an SUV designed to double as a tiny apartment.
