This week, Patrick and Tim break down two big electric debuts: the Porsche Cayenne EV and Jeep Recon. Can an electric sibling to the Wrangler be a hit—even with only 250 miles of range? 

Plus, they recap some new research about EV battery health and explain why you shouldn’t worry about replacing the battery in a new EV. And the driverless car space is moving faster than ever, with news this week from Waymo, Zoox and Tesla. 

In Plus/Minus, the guys debate whether Tesla should add Apple CarPlay and explain why it’s such a big deal that Xiaomi’s EVs are profitable after less than two years.
