Cybertruck discounts, VW worker walk offs, Stellantis’ CEO fired – it’s only Monday!


Listen Later

The Cybertruck may have come off the line strong, but it's already burned through its million-plus reservation list and Tesla is starting to pull demand levers with discounts, leases, referrals, and more. Will it be enough to help spur sales? All this and major waves at VW and Stellantis on today's thrilling episode of Quick Charge!

We've also got 0% financing deals on a number of EVs, making it easier than you might think to get into a new electric car ahead of Trump killing off the federal EV tax credits next year, along with fresh tariffs on solar panels from South East Asia and a record-setting year for BYD.
