Listen Later

On today's episode of Quick Charge: a new report indicates that Elon will delay the launch of Tesla's Robotaxi, Giga Berlin squabbles with unions, Polestar rolls out a go-fast convertible at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and a retro-tastic Mercedes restomod that's more Model 3 than 300 breaks cover.

We wrapping up this week's Quick Charge cycle with some fun stories involving IKEA coffee mugs, President Biden's big cash giveaways, Rimac stealing Tesla's best ideas, and a convertible Polestar with about 50% more power than it needs.

All this PLUS a shameless plug for my other podcast, too – enjoy!
