The Hype Is Right | Ep 6 – NSX, TAYCAN, MODEL S, MUSTANG, BMW i8

Posted on by Richard Waters
On this episode of The Hype Is Right, Youtuber Samcrac, Sam from Polykup, Chris from Flyryde, and our very own Scott from Konig tell us whether or not they think that these electric/hybrid cars – the Acura NSX, Porsche Taycan, Tesla Model S, Mustang MachE, and BMW i8 – are “Under Hyped”, “Just Right”, or “Over-Hyped.”

“It’s got big shoes to fill…I love the original NSX from Pulp Fiction when The Wolf rolls up in the NSX. That’s when everybody was like, ‘What car was that?'”
– Chris on the NSX

“For over $150,000, I just think there are way more interesting cars you can buy.”
– Samcrac on the Taycan

“The one thing that I don’t think Tesla gets enough credit for is how fast these freakin’ cars are!”
– Scott on the Model S

“It’s gonna be Ford’s first…real entry into the electric market and I think they’re just going to knock it out of the park.”
– Sam on the MachE
