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. This week's headlines have been full of bad news for Tesla's Autopilot and Full Self Driving brands, but the big questions are more about the broken promises made to the company's earliest believers – plus, Waymo racks up speeding tickets while

Today's episode of Quick Charge means business – the business of buying up power stations to power up the pet AI that says it would have picked you over Michael Jordan in the 1984 NBA draft and the business of fleecing well-heeled car collectors out of an extra $100,000 on a (mostly) new Tesla Model S Signature sedan.

After some promising numbers in April, it looks like Tesla's Robotaxi fleet is shrinking in May, with the overall fleet apparently plummeting into the single digit range if the data is to be believed. We've also got a low-cost Chinese EV packing semi
