On today’s downright giddy episode of Quick Charge, at least one Cybertruck owner is sick of people making fun of his ride – but Tesla won’t let him trade it in. Plus, the Associated Press reports that Tesla is suing its own customers, and Nissan is adding AI to its EVs to its record time.
Bloggers and journalists might be in trouble if they keep writing about Tesla’s shortcomings – especially in China, where the company has allegedly been using its pull with the government to put pressure on journalists to keep their spin on the company positive. We’ve also got some new pics of the upcoming 2026 Nissan LEAF and a story about the rising cost of solar under Trump’s second administration.
