Re: HPC

EDF receives regulatory approval to start fuel loading at Flamanville 3. How long does it take? I guess an abundance of caution for the first load-up?

Re: Musk fires entire Supercharger Team?

Except no longer available in Right Hand Drive if you want to buy a new one (same with the Model S). Another one of Elon's seemingly more daft decisions.
