Comedy Interviews

Recorded from the Hyundai Ioniq 5N, we're in the canyons talking about the Indy 500, Ioniq 5 N vs Macan EV, talking about a Tesla that tried to fight a train, answering questions, discussing when gimmicks are a good thing, why brands should (or should not) cling to history, too much adjustability, why an event that appears like a race isn't, and more!
