Flying, flipping Tesla Roadster delivered on style, THESE EVs deliver on substance
If last week's headlines proved anything at all, it's that the long wait for flying, flipping, fully self driving electric vehicles is finally over – especially if you're shopping at Tesla's competitors.

Tesla’s two week notice, Volvo’s autonomous milestone, and fun with LEGO
On today's completely predictable episode of Quick Charge, Tesla CEO Elon Musk says the weather looks like it'll be too rough to show off his new "flying" Roadster 2.0 on October 1st, so he's pushing the reveal back another two weeks – but after 9 years of moving goal posts and broken promises, what's a few more weeks? We've also got a review of the Tom Hanks classic The Money Pit, which may or may not be a reference to spending $250,000 on a car you've never driven, touched, or even seen – but which you might get to see in two weeks.

All press is good press, right? Cybercab event leaves more questions than answers
On today's pressing episode of Quick Charge, we challenge the notion that all press is good press by filling the void of information surrounding this week's Tesla Cybercab launch with a whole lot of bad news for the Full Self Driving brand.
