6-23-25: CLT Council Votes To Drop Tesla Cars

CLT City Council says they will no longer be using Teslas because they do not align with the city's beliefs

Tune in here to this Monday’s edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the Charlotte City Council’s latest vote and the controversy surrounding the exclusion of Tesla from a proposed electric vehicle purchase. On this steamy Monday night edition of Breaking with Brett Jensen, he dives into comments made by Councilmember LaWana Mayfield, who argued that Tesla’s corporate values don’t align with the city’s.

Later, Jensen dives into the year-end press conference held by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS), highlighting key takeaways—and glaring omissions. Notably absent from the discussion was any mention of school violence or ambulance incidents reported earlier in the year. Instead, CMS leadership focused on academic topics, including teacher vacancies, test scores, and budget considerations. Brett pressed Superintendent Dr. Crystal Hill on why only a 2.83% increase in teacher supplements was requested, prompting discussion about county budget constraints.
