Cybertruck frame failure, women have worries, and China makes progress


On today’s exciting episode of Quick Charge, we talk about Whistlin’ Diesel snapping a Cybertruck’s gigacast frame, whether or not women worry too much about EV charging, and the progress being made by Tesla rivals in China.

The questions being raised by the video shared in Fred Lambert’s article certainly raise questions about the off-road capabilities of the Tesla Cybertruck, but one capability all Tesla products sorely lack is the ability to drive away from a charging session while still plugged in. Will the Chinese figure out a solution to that particular issue first, or will it be Toyota?
