In TV news briefly for Friday 8th of September, I'll be back as usual at 5pm UK,

midday Eastern for the full podcast, but Patreon supporters get the episodes as soon as they're ready

and add free. Be like them by clicking on a link in the show notes. Today on the main podcast,

we'll be talking about the Mustang Mac E Rally. They are taking the Mac E GT performance,

still keeping that 480 horsepower, but getting

more torque out of the motors. They're raising the ride height, magna ride, shocks, new springs,

new brakes, 91 kilowatt hour battery pack, a rally sport drive mode designed to go off road,

big slides, but also be able to be used on the road

because there's going to have things like Blue Crews, as well, it's out in 2024. We think about

rivaling the Porsche Tycon, the Plaid models from Tesla, for instance. It is 102-kil-hour battery pack.

stops. It will do naught to 62 miles an hour, 100 kilometres an hour in less than three seconds,

about 2.8 seconds, 160 mile an hour top speed. What's it going to cost? Well, at least over 100 grand.

They say around 300 miles range on that, but really it's about performance. Made in China,

of course, Lotus owned by Gile. It'll be out for a 2025 model year. Hilton are going to add

2,000 hotel locations with 20,000 Tesla Universal Wall

connectors, so at least six charges each Hilton Hotel, which is brilliant for some slow

overnight charging, so you wake up from your stay and your car's fully charged. BP Pulse in the

UK have unveiled what they're calling the largest
