Main theme: This week the Cars team focuses on audience questions with an all-questions episode of our video podcast. The panel weighs in on a variety of topics, including:
- Is the concern for battery failure a reason to avoid buying an electric vehicle?
- Why do similar models produced in other countries seem to come with different and sometimes better features?
- Do “higher quality” tires retain their wet grip over time?
- What’s the warranty coverage for newer 48V systems?
- Why does my vehicle’s fuel economy drop so much in the winter months?
- How can I delete an audio preset in my 2023 Honda CR-V?
