021 - LAST KEN BLOCK Video!?, BEST CAR Movies, TESLA Cybertruck is bad!?

·55 min·3 clips

The hosts say the last Ken Block video mattered because it was filmed before his death and shows what electric cars can do.

1. Just Another Car Show episode 21 centers on Ken Block's last filmed Gymkhana video, Tesla's Cybertruck, and the end of The Grand Tour. 2. Park, Sam, and Ben host the show, and Park's late-night responses are mentioned because the recording time is about 9.45 p.m. Pacific. 3. The episode asks what Ken Block's final electric Audi video shows, why the Cybertruck is being mocked, and which car movies define the hosts' tastes. 4. The hosts start with Ken Block's death and call him a great driver, a great guy, a great father, and a strong brand figure. 5. They say the new Gymkhana video was filmed right before he died and features his electric Audi in Mexico City. 6. The discussion highlights stunts, tire marks, donuts, a jet shot, and traffic left open on other roads for the filming. 7. The hosts compare the electric Audi's behavior with internal-combustion cars and talk about reverse, paddles, and instant torque. 8. They say electric cars can do things that gas cars cannot, but also lose certain familiar manual-transmission tricks. 9. Park argues that the electric runs feel less like the earlier "holy shit" moments from Pikes Peak, San Francisco, and the docks. 10. The group still praises the cinematography, the permissions, and the scale of the Mexico City production. 11. The Cybertruck segment begins with the hosts calling it "dumb" and questioning its truck credentials. 12. They say trucks are for towing and off-road use, and they doubt the Tesla can do either job well because of its weight. 13. The hosts mention a rear-wheel-drive version, an all-wheel-drive version at $79,900, and a six-foot bed. 14. They joke that the truck looks like a hatchback with a tonneau cover and compare it to a "meme" product. 15. The conversation also covers towing numbers such as 21,000 pounds and the practical limits of electric range while towing. 16. They bring up Rivian, the Lightning, hybrid trucks, and the idea that truck buyers often do not match Tesla's usual audience. 17. The tone swings between admiration for Ken Block's work and blunt criticism of the Cybertruck. 18. The format is a loose roundtable with constant back-and-forth, interruptions, and long tangents about car culture. 19. Listeners who like Ken Block, Top Gear, and car-movie rankings will fit this episode. 20. Listeners who want a tight technical review or minimal banter may skip it.
