55 min - Torque, Transmissions, and the "Blank Slate" EV | S3Ep3
This episode was recorded live on Friday, March 27, 2026 on WNRI 1380AM & 99.9FM in Woonsocket, RI.
In this episode, Nathan and his dad dive deep into the mechanics of your vehicle and the future of the automotive industry. We kick things off by answering a question from last week: What exactly is a foot-pound? Nathan's dad breaks down the science of torque, clamping force, and why a calibrated torque wrench is a mechanic's best friend.
Later, we shift gears to discuss Slate Auto, the new American EV company backed by Jeff Bezos. Discover why their "blank slate" pickup truck is disrupting the market with a modular design, DIY upgrades, and a 3D-printing-friendly approach. We also take a live caller's questions about transmission maintenance, explaining the difference between a drain-and-fill versus a power flush.
