TESLA'S NEW BATTERY IS READY TO LAUNCH | MASSIVE CHANGES COMING

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive update on Tesla's recent developments, focusing on the Cybertruck, 4680 battery production, lease price adjustments, and the upcoming Model 3 'Highland' refresh. The reviewer highlights the Cybertruck's progress, including durability testing and the potential for an in-house wrap service, though pricing remains a significant question. A key takeaway is Tesla's milestone of producing 20 million 4680 battery cells at Giga Texas, indicating strong progress towards scaling for the Cybertruck and future models. The significant reduction in lease prices for the Model 3 and Y is noted as a competitive move, making them more attractive against rivals like the Polestar 2 and Hyundai Ioniq 5. The video also confirms the imminent loss of half the federal tax credit for the Model 3 by year-end, potentially driving sales of the current model before the 'Highland' variant arrives in the US in early 2024. The 'Highland' Model 3 has been spotted uncovered in the US, showcasing its updated design, which the reviewer suggests could be marketed as 'Model 3 Plus'. Finally, a brief overview of Kia's new EV concepts (EV3, EV4, EV5, EV2) is included, positioning them as competitors in various segments.
