Over the weekend, Tesla faced public protests targeting CEO Elon Musk and his involvement with DOGE, resulting in overwhelming demonstrations at Tesla showrooms. Shareholders are now calling for Musk’s removal, intensifying pressure on America’s most influential immigrant. Additionally, today’s episode of Quick Charge covers updates on solid-state batteries and the launch of a new affordable electric vehicle from Kia.
Reports suggest that Xi Jinping may be leveraging approval of Elon Musk’s supervised Full Self-Driving software as a bargaining chip, linking it to the US government reconsidering proposed tariffs against China. Moreover, Cummins’ recent acquisition could expedite the commercial availability of drop-in hybrid solutions for construction and mining operations.
