TTAC Podcast: Talking Frozen Teslas With Tom Appel and Chris Tonn
Hey there! Welcome back! It's time for episode three of our new and improved podcast.
You may have heard about some Tesla owners getting frozen out of charging stations in Chicago 10 days ago or so. As our guest, Consumer Guide Automotive Publisher Tom Appel, lays out here, the story is a bit more complicated than that.
We also talked about our first drive of the 2024 Kia EV9, the state of EV charging in general, our dream cars, and some of our favorite and least favorite cars of the 1990s. As usual, we thank eBay Motors for sponsoring us.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- Ajla Anything over about 5 years or 50k miles and you're buying the prior owner's maintenance and driving habits as much as you are the brand.
- Loser I had a spice red 06, only complaint was the stereo sucked. The low end torque was intoxicating. Had an ‘04 Mustang Mach that I really loved but the GTO was a huge upgrade. It was probably the best road trip car I’ve ever had. They were just about giving them away when I got mine. Never understood why they didn’t sell better. People say it was too bland but it was perfect to me.
- Lou_BC "What Brand Makes the Best Used Cars?" . .. None... They build new cars.
- Lou_BC None. . . They build new cars.
- SilverCoupe Well, I have had five cars over the last 46 years of car ownership, that have lasted me 6, 7, 10, 10, and 13 years (all but one purchased used), so my current car, a 16 year old '08 Audi A5 purchased in 2011, is the winner. I just drove it from Philly to the New York area and back to Philly today, and it remains rock solid.
