Are Elon Musk’s toxic antics alienating Tesla’s key buyers? While Tesla is arguably still the go-to electric vehicle brand worldwide, in California, the largest car market in the U.S., registration of Tesla vehicles has reportedly dropped by a massive 24 percent between April and June — the third straight quarter that sales have fallen in the state. Futurism has more.

Tesla is no longer the world's biggest electric vehicle maker, with fourth-quarter sales falling short of even the reduced target analysts set. Chinese rival BYD is now No. 1, selling 2.26M vehicles last year vs. Tesla's 1.64M. Here's more from @AssociatedPress.

Electrify America at Plymouth … one charger is down shown in the app… and one more shows available but actually down (won’t activate) and the 350kw that I waited 10 mins for is reduced to about 170kw
I’m glad my car tells me the charging power is limited by the charging station……

China is to ban hidden door handles on cars. Instead, vehicle doors must have a mechanical release function, inside and outside. The purpose is to make cars safer after electric vehicle accidents where electronic doors reportedly failed to operate and trapped passengers inside. Here's more from @AssociatedPress.

While I was in western Mass I finally got to try an Alpitronic HPC charging station! BP pulse opened a "gigahub" near Logan airport which has 4 of these, but they're usually out of way for me. These 400kw chargers are among the best in the industry - fast, reliable, and easy to use. At least that's what I've heard.
This one is from the Mercedes Benz charging network at the Lee Outlet shopping mall, conveniently located right off I-90. It has a food court and bathrooms. I activated it from ChargePoint app, very easy. Charging started in no time. Max charging power recorded at 318kw! Very satisfying experience. Now they need to work on Plug & Charge ;)
