Paul and Ben discuss the upcoming Cybertruck from Tesla, which was announced towards the end of 2019 and is the company's first electric pickup truck. We talk about the now-infamous window smashing incident (was it intentional or a genuine accident?!) Plus we talk about its looks, who would buy one and whether it'll be a success in the UK market and worldwide. Plus... electric cars! When will all new cars be electric? What about range anxiety? If you have an EV, will your car suddenly conk out on the motorway or freeway?! How far do electric cars go on a single charge? How often do you need to charge an electric car?
