Whee, robots! Tesla Robotaxi event set to underwhelm and GM throws shade


On today’s exciting episode of Quick Charge, we try to find the missing hype that usually surrounds Tesla’s new product reveals – and why five years of broken product promises mean it might not show up at all this time around.

We’ve also got a pickup that doesn’t need a $16,000 range extender in its bed to go 490 miles on a single charge, GM takes a jab at Ford’s affordable EV “skunkworks,” and a new solar study from EnergySage. Enjoy!
