Episode Details

On today's crash-tacular episode of Quick Charge it's been a rough, rough week for Tesla stans as new data out of Austin shows Robotaxis crashing at rates more than 4x higher than humans, new data out of China shows sales crashing more than 45%, and a new video seems to show a Tesla trying to crash into a lake.

We've got some of Fred's in-depth analysis of what's going on over at Tesla as they start rolling Cybercabs or Cybervehicles or whatever they're calling it off an assembly line, too – and even something the house that Elon built is doing right!
