TSLA gets hammered, Mercedes set to ditch EQ, and big van news


Listen Later

With revenue tumbling almost as fast as market share, Tesla stock is taking a pounding – exactly like CEO Elon Musk predicted! We've also got FSD rolling out in China, a German automation acquisition, and more on today's red candlestick edition of Quick Charge!

We've also got some clarifying news at Mercedes-Benz, which is set to ditch its confusing EQ-based model alphanumerics and (God willing) their suppository-based styling language, too. Plus, Rivian launches a new upfit service to make it easier for fleet managers to order ready-to-work EVs, Ram ProMaster EV lives up to its promises with more options and a lower price tag, and a big solar deal goes down.
