Elon’s MAGA millions, Cybertruck gets a fancy blanket, and a new $30K VW EV

Entertainment

Quick Charge is back to report on this week’s biggest EV stories – but I didn’t expect to read that Elon Musk was committing $45 million per month to get convicted felon, adulterer, and all-around terrible person Donald Trump re-elected!

Meanwhile: Tesla’s 4680 batteries don’t work, the Cybertruck gets a fancy blanket to make sure bike tires don’t damage its “super tough” stainless steel tailgate, VW launches a new, $30,000 SUV in China with 385 miles of range, China is cleaning up its act, and the Formula Sun Grand Prix is underway!
