Tesla loses HW chief to Amazon and Cybertruck might go to China after all

baua


On today’s prime time episode of Quick Charge, Amazon is taking on Tesla with the launch of an online car shopping tool AND by snagging Elon’s longtime head of Autopilot hardware development. Tesla isn’t taking the news lying down, however – they’re eyeing new markets for Cybertruck expansion!

That’s right – Tesla is once again looking into expansion plans in India and the Chinese market seems once again in play for the controversial Cybertruck. We’ve also got a huge solar financing deal and buffoonery surrounding the USPS, so be sure to let us know what you think in the comments.
