The conversation starts with the realities of owning and driving cars today—from expensive gas and city parking to EV charging and battery life—before turning to Tesla and the next-generation Roadster.


Chris and Courage break down the Roadster’s supercar styling, proposed three-motor all-wheel-drive setup, instant EV torque, and the technology that allows electric cars to put enormous amounts of power to the pavement. Then comes the big question: could Tesla really demonstrate a Roadster that actually hovers?


They also debate whether ultra-fast EV sports cars make sense when electric SUVs and trucks can already deliver ridiculous acceleration while offering far more practicality. And what happens when yesterday’s performance bargains become tomorrow’s collectibles? The guys get into rising Nissan GT-R prices, the Ford GT, supercar values, and why some enthusiast cars become incredibly expensive after production ends.


Plus: why charging an EV or your phone to 100% isn't always ideal, four-motor vs. three-motor EVs, Tesla styling, BYD, Lucid, Rivian, the realities of 0–60 performance in everyday traffic, and plenty of classic Cool Cars with Chris tangents along the way.


In this episode: Tesla Roadster, Tesla EVs, electric sports cars, EV supercars, Tesla Roadster rumors, EV performance, electric car acceleration, EV battery charging, three-motor vs. four-motor EVs, Rivian, Lucid, BYD, Nissan GT-R values, Ford GT, collectible cars, sports cars, supercars, car technology, and the future of electric vehicles.
