The latest numbers are in, and they are not looking good for Tesla enthusiasts. In the fourth quarter of 2025, Tesla only managed to sell 5,000 Cybertruck models, and to make matters worse, the company produced 30% more “other” vehicles than it actually delivered. It’s a tough pill to swallow for fans of the electric car manufacturer, and the news is sure to stir up some tension on today’s episode of Quick Charge.
But it’s not all bad news in the world of electric vehicles. We’ve got day one coverage of the 2025 Electrek Formula Sun Grand Prix, where some of the most innovative solar-powered cars are competing for the top spot. Additionally, reports have surfaced that the Tesla Optimus program is facing turmoil after its chief engineer decided to leave the company. And looking ahead, the new Hyundai IONIQ 2 is set to make its debut early next year, with battery specs rumored to be inspired by the Kia EV2.
