Episode Details

Credit where credit is due: in a massive, 32-car multinational independent test, Tesla's Autopilot ADAS came out on top, the new affordable Tesla turns out to be a corner-cutting Model Y, and one of the company's original founders compares the Cybertruck to a dumpster. All this and more on today's episode of Quick Charge!
