Energy business, used car business, and plain ol’ business business

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.

We also get into the very business-y business of Lucid's finances and plummeting stock price – despite billions of dollars and many months of runway still available, as well as the plummetting prices on world-class EVs from Hyundai and Polestar.
