On today’s episode of Quick Charge, we ask where Tesla’s million buyers went as the wait time on Cybertruck drops to zero. Meanwhile, Ford EVs charge free in Texas, Hyundai’s 7 passenger Ioniq 9 heads towards production, and we recap the Electrek American Solar Challenge 2024.
We also talk through the $16,000, permanent range-extender that Tesla thinks you’ll be willing to give up 1/3 of your bed for, and another $1 billion solar project in New Mexico that helps to establish the state as a leader in solar cell production.
