Quick Charge

Tesla might be running out of Cybertruck buyers, Fords charge free, and solar GP


Listen Later

On today's episode of Quick Charge, we ask where Tesla's million buyers went as the wait time on Cybertruck drops to zero. Meanwhile, Ford EVs charge free in Texas, Hyundai's 7 passenger Ioniq 9 heads towards production, and we recap the Electrek American Solar Challenge 2024.

We also talk through the $16,000, permanent range-extender that Tesla thinks you'll be willing to give up 1/3 of your bed for, and another $1 billion solar project in New Mexico that helps to establish the state as a leader in solar cell production.
