On today\u2019s incredibly frustrating episode of Quick Charge<\/a>, Tesla is making it easier than ever to make fun of them by rolling out a new, \u201caffordable\u201d Model Y that costs $2,000 more than the \u201cexpensive\u201d one did last week, thanks to the cancellation of the $7,500 tax credit that Elon Musk (the guy who is so good at business that he\u2019s allegedly worth $1 trillion) spent $200 million campaigning for.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also got the new, single-motor Volvo EX30 at a price that undercuts the cheap Tesla, but includes a full length glass roof that isn\u2019t inexplicably covered in upholstery to punish poor people. All this and more \u2013\u00a0enjoy!<\/p>\n
