Matt Watson and CarWow in general are infuriating. IMO he and they absolutely create misleading videos, deliberately mismatch vehicles to favor one specific vehicle under the guise of "we thought we'd try something different" and are at best a clickbait operation that occasionally, and probably entirely unintentionally, produce the odd decent video.

My own real life experience with the fast charger though is the same with those unruly cord and large connector. It's quite hard to actually plug in, instead of a regular slow charger or Tesla supercharger.

@AMIRZA786 This is the 2nd EV I’ve come across on the highway that was scooting down the road. Both times they were the sexy Model S. I followed it for several miles probably 15 min or so. Then she let me pass (older lady snow white hair) and let me lead the rest of the way until she took her exit. Admittingly so, whenever I see an EV exit, I google nearby charger and there was a charging station on the exit she took.
Officer bit will probably tell me I’m too close. Don’t worry officer I “zoomed in” on the pic.😉😜

none whatsoever. EV takes an exit where chargers are located, assume it was going to charge or maybe they live off that exit or stopping to take a 💩who knows. 
We passed several exits before she took that particular exit.
Random, years ago I remember a black BMW 7 series sedan zoomed pass me on the highway. Several minutes and miles later when I got to my exit, I saw that same BMW 7 series at Taco Bell. Assuming they had to go take a 💩 cause no way they were running for the border. If so, guess they can 💩 on their way out.

His "buddy" Yianni who he brings into his drag races was also caught promoting crypto scams so I have no doubt that Mat would stoop that low if he could. It's all a game for these people.

I swear to God that anyone who falls for these quick rich Crypto scams deserve to lose everything. The only people who make money on meme coins are the founders...aka scammers
