About this episode
On today's long overdue episode of Quick Charge, we've finally got production specs and pricing on the Tesla Semi first revealed by Elon Musk nine (9) years ago. Will it be a revolution, or a case of too little, too late to make a real impact?
We've also got a Level 4 autonomous mining truck backed by global EV leader BYD that's already being put to work on more than 30 mining sites, a look at the first preproduction Rivian R2s, and a mobile AI data center + BESS and charging solution from Windrose Electric CEO Wen Han that may be the most bonkers, or brilliant thing you see this week.
