Tesla is racking up speeding tickets, and YOU are on the hook
This is not a home energy story, and it does not affect an EV charging or home upgrade project. It's a rundown of a Tesla-focused podcast episode covering a few unrelated auto and energy items.
The episode notes that Tesla's Full Self-Driving system keeps getting drivers pulled over for speeding, including a case where a driver's car reportedly hit 64 mph in a 45 mph zone while the system was engaged. It also touches on comments from Waymo's CEO questioning whether Tesla's camera-only self-driving approach will match human drivers, and remarks from President Trump at a rally making claims about electric vehicles that the podcast host says were inaccurate, including talk of gas bans and EV mandates that don't exist. The one point the host says was accurate: charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in the U.S. is still hard to find and often out of sight.
Separately, the source links mention a large battery storage installation, a 500 megawatt-hour Tesla Megapack system, that recently went online in Texas as part of the power grid there.
None of this involves a rebate, incentive, or home upgrade decision, so there is nothing here that changes what a homeowner would do with their own house, electric vehicle purchase plans aside.
