Polestar hopes to steal Tesla sales, CATL revenue dips, and feeding the orcas

Quick Charge

On today's episode of Quick Charge, Polestar hopes to steal customers from Tesla now that Elon is involved in politics, CATL revenue dips for the first time ever, and a whole new way to feed the orcas drops down under.

As above, Polestar is hoping Elon's descent into politics spells opportunity for the struggling Swedish/Chinese performance brand, CATL has big news in Europe, and Scooter Doll shows off a new electric submarine that's so expensive, they won't even tell us the price.
