Tesla's $100M Electric Truck Charging Corridor Proposal Rejected for Third Time

The Biden administration's latest round of EV infrastructure funding excludes Tesla's TESSERACT project, prompting criticism from CEO Elon Musk.

The Department of Transportation announced $636 million in EV infrastructure grants, excluding Tesla's $100 million TESSERACT project for the third time.
TESSERACT, aimed at building a charging corridor for electric semi-trucks between California and Texas, was first proposed in 2023.
Tesla's plan included nine charging stations equipped with high-powered chargers for its Semi trucks and additional chargers for other EVs.
CEO Elon Musk expressed frustration on social media, highlighting ongoing tensions between Tesla and the Biden administration.
Musk is set to take a significant role in the incoming Trump administration as co-lead of the Department of Government Efficiency, raising questions about potential industry influence.
