Quick Charge

Massive Tesla recall, massive self-driving haul truck, and a massive new wind farm


Listen Later

In today's massive new episode of Quick Charge, Tesla issues a massive 1.8 million EV recall to keep their hoods from flying open, Liebherr puts out a massive, 264-ton electric haul truck, and a massive 2.2 MW wind farm gets one step closer to reality.

We've also got a record-setting, 8 second 1/4 mile pass, a 1300 hp Chinese supercar, and a new, virtual power plant that's powered by Ford and Sunrun. Enjoy!
