Cybertruck gets un-founded, Tesla computers fail, and Trump has a plan


Listen Later

On today's episode of Quick Charge, it's bad news for Tesla as the nonexistent demand for its Foundation Series Cybertruck models leads Musk to desperate tactics. Meanwhile, the company's new AI4 computers have major safety concerns, and Trump is moving to kill EV tax credits.

We've also got record-breaking sales from BYD to prove that the US President doesn't matter when it comes to global EV adoption, a record-setting electric semi truck order from Canada, and a big solar project coming online in America's dairyland.
