Tesla gets an intervention, Hyundai drives down prices, and California upgrades


On today’s emotionally energized episode of Quick Charge, an independent test show that the latest Tesla Full Self Driving requires an intervention every 13 miles. Meanwhile, Hyundai, Kia, and California are making EVs better, AND more affordable.

Independent testing firm AMCI seems to verify Fred’s initial findings with FSD 12.5, Hyundai and Kia are working on new, more affordable EV batteries, and the state of California has a low(er) cost solution to seriously upgrade its energy grid. All this and a new secret word, too – enjoy!
