Tesla FSD keeps racking up speeding tickets, and drivers are footing the bill

Tesla drivers using the Full Self Driving system continue to receive speeding tickets, with the costs falling squarely on vehicle owners. This was highlighted in the latest episode of the Quick Charge podcast, which also touched on President Donald Trump's recent speech at a rally in Red Rock.

Trump's address, despite being riddled with factual inaccuracies—including nonexistent bans on gasoline cars, fabricated EV mandates, and claims that Elon Musk opposed the very thing he spent $250 million lobbying for—did hit on a genuine issue: America's EV charging infrastructure is practically invisible. According to the podcast hosts, this factor could prove critical for the mainstream adoption of electric vehicles.

The episode also devoted significant attention to the CEO of Waymo, who spent over forty minutes explaining why Tesla's technology will never surpass a human driver. His argument centers on fundamental differences in approaches to autonomous driving: Waymo relies on meticulously mapped routes and sensors, while Tesla depends on cameras and neural networks.

Quick Charge releases new episodes several times a week and is now available not only as video but also in audio format on major platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and TuneIn. Listeners can leave comments, suggest topics for discussion, and recommend the show to others on Overcast.

The episode also reminded audiences about EnergySage, a service that helps match users with solar panel installers. The platform allows comparing quotes from hundreds of vetted companies and, according to the service, saves 20–30% compared to finding a contractor independently. The service is free, and users receive no sales calls until they select an installer and share their phone number.
