Tesla is racking up speeding tickets, and YOU are on the hook
About this episode
The episode discusses Tesla's speeding tickets, President Trump's comments on electric car drivers, and critiques of Tesla's self-driving technology.
On today's brain-addled episode of Quick Charge , President Trump says electric car drivers have a disease, Full Self Driving won't stop earning Tesla drivers tickets, and Waymo's CEO spends over forty minutes explaining why Tesla's tech won't ever beat a human driver. Despite being riddled with factual inaccuracies about fake gas bans, nonexistent EV mandates, and claims that Elon was against the very thing that he spent $250 million lobbying for, President Trump's Red Rock rally speech absolutely nailed a very real truth about America's electric vehicle chrging infrastructure: it's pretty much invisible . You can check out what that means, and why I think it matters for America's mainstream dream of electric vehicle adoption by pressing play, then let us know what you think in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
