NEW TESLA MODEL S DELIVERIES

EV Channels Review

The latest Tesla news covers several key updates and clarifications. The video addresses customer concerns regarding the removal of radar in new Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, confirming that Tesla Vision is effectively restoring and even improving features like Auto-Steer and Smart Summon via software updates, with Auto-Steer now reaching 80 mph. It also debunks a viral TikTok video alleging a disconnected airbag on a new Model S, explaining the vehicle was in transport mode and the issue was fabricated. A significant recall in China for Model 3 and Model Y is clarified as a software update for cruise control alerts, not a major safety defect. Deliveries of the refreshed Model S Long Range have commenced, offering a compelling value proposition compared to the Plaid model, though Model X deliveries are still pending. Finally, the video highlights the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating for the radarless Model 3, validating Tesla's camera-based safety systems, and touches on Panasonic's battery investments and CATL's new supply agreement. Honda's announcement of the Prologue SUV in 2024 is also noted as a late entry into the EV market.
