On today's extra long episode of Quick Charge, Elon Musk is definitely hurting sales at Tesla, Mercedes is taking the self-driving lead, and Chargeway founder Matt Teske stops by to show us how extreme weather could impact your electric road trip.

We also take a deeper dive into some of the ways extreme heat and cold impact electric vehicle range on long road trips, a major bankruptcy in the solar space, and convince ourselves that these photos of Elon as a furry aren't real (please, don't try to convince me they're real – this timeline is already irredeemably stupid, and I don't think I'll ever recover).
