About this episode

The big news this week is the new Model Y being available for order in the US, but it doesn't stop there – a new ECU photo inspired Fred to vent about Tesla's FSD transfer policy, Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe announced plans to get into the self-driving business himself, and solar had a very, very big year. All this and more on today's thrilling episode of Quick Charge!

We've also got spy pictures of a NACS-ready BMW i5 in Utah, news that even more OEMs are chasing software deals with Rivian, and even some speculation about who that might be.
