The U.S. Department of Transportation has passed over Tesla’s application for nearly $100 million in funding for a big rig charging corridor. The decision comes as Tesla struggles with its electric big rig program, having only delivered early versions of the Tesla Semi. Tesla's request was part of the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) program, which aims to enhance EV charging infrastructure. Despite previous funding requests, Tesla's project TESSERACT remains in limbo as the company continues to build its facility in Nevada. Upcoming funding opportunities remain uncertain under the new administration's priorities.
