On today’s heated episode of Quick Charge, a US Congressman claims Tesla’s poor design caused at least 15 deaths, Elon says he’s a few billion miles away from real Full Self Driving, and Volvo teases an incredible new EX60 with 400 miles of range.
It’s hard to understate how wild it is for a sitting US Congressman to call out a specific person and company like this, and it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out. Today’s show also explores Tesla’s moving goalposts for Full Self Driving and the upcoming SPA3 EX60 from Volvo while the 30% home solar tax credit gets a new lease on life and Germany sets a new clean energy benchmark despite geography working against them.
