In a striking episode of Quick Charge, a U.S. Congressman has stirred up controversy by attributing a shocking number of at least 15 fatalities to design flaws in Tesla vehicles. Meanwhile, Elon Musk has revealed that the company is still quite far from achieving what he calls 'real Full Self Driving,' estimating a need for several billion more miles of real-world driving data. On a more positive note, Volvo is creating buzz with its upcoming EX60 model, boasting an impressive range of 400 miles.

In addition, the episode dives into Tesla's shifting benchmarks regarding Full Self Driving technology and highlights Volvo's anticipated EX60 while celebrating the revival of a valuable 30% solar tax credit.
