🤖🚗👩⚖️Don't call it a recall! The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is forcing Tesla to remove its FSD beta from 360K cars. Musk says it’s wrong to call an over-the-air update push a "recall.” The NHTSA doesn't care what word he uses, as long as Tesla deactivates the $15K feature on all affected vehicles (which is pretty much all of them).
🇩🇪🔌💰Ain't no network wide enough. VW and Mercedes-Benz are leaping toward electrification but asking if the German government's charging network will be there to catch them (and their customers). A $6.7B government plan to scale-up charging stations in the country still needs to keep pace with EV adoption. Unlike the many branded networks in the US, German charging infrastructure is left out of OEM hands but not their worries.
✂️🏷️👎How low should you go? Renault's CEO isn't sure cutting EV prices is a good idea. The company posted a record $2B+ cash flow last year and said margins wouldn’t be compromised because it would decrease the value they offer customers. While Renault's leadership expects the effects of supply chain issues to linger for another couple of years, they feel optimistic about their ability to operate despite foreseen production hurdles.
