The Trump administration is shutting down all federal government buildings' EV chargers and expected to sell off the GSA's newly bought EVs.

    Hmmm, does Elon know? He’ll lose direct connect info from all those vehicles.

      I doubt he’ll mind, considering he’ll buy the assets for pennies on the dollar.

      That was 400 million. It looks like they are denying it, but there’s still a procurement for 400 million of “armored electric trucks”. https://checkyourfact.com/2025/02/18/fact-check-state-department-400-million-worth-tesla-trucks/

      No, that was canceled after they were publicly called out. We need to stay vigilant

          Which means that other companies at least hypothetically can bid.
