Tesla charging (with membership with non tesla) is so, so much cheaper than other options and the locations are so good (Wawa and Sheetz in VA). With a 400V vehicle there’s no reason to choose anything else.

Thiessen: Just so people understand wind and solar only work when there is wind and sun. We don't have technology to store the energy from wind and solar…

Today Electric Era was awarded 16 sites across 5 corridors from the California NEVI Round 2 solicitation. This is a massive win and nearly books us out through 2026. Time to electrify ⚡ 📈

If only there were a demand driver for batteries built into statute that incentivized consumers to buy ones made in the US? Wouldn’t that be nice. Oh, you bankrolled the guy who killed that.

Not going to comment on autonomy to stir the FSD hornets nest but I can just say getting picked up in a Gravity instead of a Model Y makes for an actual luxury experience. I think people would pay more for this.

MEB has so much good engineering behind it (watch @live_munro coverage) but the product desperately needs a vehicle worth its innards. Buzz was good for headlines and brand fawning but not mainstream. VW pls deliver 🙏

The Volkswagen ID.4 is getting a major Tiguan-inspired overhaul next year. In fact, it's being described internally as the "electric Tiguan." insideevs.com/news/765806/vo…
