Main theme: We discussed a few of the automotive highlights from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, including a number of concept cars from Chinese-based Byton, Fisker, Mercedes-Benz, and Sony. (Yes, Sony. A real car, not something from the Gran Turismo video game.)
Driven this week: 2020 Nissan Sentra
Audience questions:
- Is buying retread tires a good idea?
- Can you compare the Toyota RAV4's performance in the European 'Moose Test' with its results in CR's own emergency avoidance maneuver test?
- What are the challenges of parking a Tesla Model 3 on the street in the winter and not having access to a home charging port?
- What does CR do with the cars once testing is complete?
