It will be built in Ohio and will be the only US-made fuel-cell electric passenger vehicle for a time.
Combines fuel-cell and battery tech to provide bidirectional charging.

Choice Hotels and Tesla

Choice Hotels will partner with Tesla to provide destination chargers for EV road trippers, starting with their Cambria brand.

This may do something for range and financial anxiety, but the noise thing is still under the microscope.
