The first topic was a hot button for a lot of people because General Motors made an announcement last week that they’re [ditching Apple CarPlay and Android Auto]() in its electric vehicles — starting with the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV, which is due out this summer. GM says the reason is due to increased technology that depends on the native in-car systems — like battery pre-conditioning when navigating to a charger or using the upcoming hands-free Ultra Cruise system. We tend to think the reason has more to do with subscription fees and data collection. ***UPDATE: April 4, 2023, has come and gone and Toyota didn’t reveal the 2024 Tacoma. What they did do is give us a peak at[the tailgate and engine](), as well as show off some [sleek silhouette photos]() with more details.*** Topic two was the spate of 2024 Toyota Tacoma teasers that have started to go out[via social media]() and [more official channels](). We talked about [what we know](), [what we think we know]() and [a weird Brazilian patent](). The final topic, the [2024 Mazda CX-90](), sent Ciminillo into her famous #JillRants. While she generally likes the vehicle a lot, there’s one little thing that set her off. Oh, and we found out how wide her shoulders really are (Spoiler alert: 15 inches). Esterdahl and Ciminillo do weekly livestreams on YouTube, which are projected out to Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. In 2023, they are switching to a Monday/Tuesday schedule at 8 p.m. EST, so be sure to subscribe to [the YouTube channel]() and follow them on social media for the upcoming live episode timing and topics. You can also catch the episode as a podcast on all your favorite podcasting software — just search for Pickup Truck + SUV Talk.
