Elon protests turn violent as arsonists set fire to Tesla cars, Plus: 2026 Chevy Spark


Listen Later

On today's fiery episode of Quick Charge, it's all bad news for Elon as Tesla sales continue to plunge in Europe, the pump fails to stop the TSLA stock price slide, and people set fire to dealers. Plus: BMW takes the top two spots in the J.D. Power EV owner satisfaction survey.

Tesla shareholders were hoping today's claims of 10x growth in the coming years would help goose TSLA stock prices, but they slid instead as BMW took the top two spots in the J.D. Power EV owner satisfaction survey and GM launched an all-new, affordable Chevy Spark EUV.
