NEW TESLA FEATURES COMING SOON

EV Channels Review

This video delves into several recent Tesla developments, primarily focusing on the Model S Plaid and broader Tesla ecosystem. Key takeaways include the confirmation of missing features in newly delivered Plaid Model S vehicles, such as active noise cancellation, integrated gaming (Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, and rear-screen gaming), and adjustable following distance for Autopilot. The review highlights that these are expected to be resolved via over-the-air software updates. Motor Trend's rigorous testing is detailed, confirming the Plaid's blistering 1.98-second 0-60 mph time under specific track conditions, while noting its current 163 mph limitation pending software updates. The video also touches on the controversial yoke steering wheel, with Motor Trend finding it cumbersome for low-speed maneuvers and Elon Musk indicating a potential, but distant, implementation of progressive steering. Additionally, the refreshed Model S features are discussed, including upcoming Zero-G wheels, a potential active aero wing, a 7-seater option, and a tow hitch, all appearing in the parts catalog. The reduction in the Model S battery pack size from 104 kWh to 100 kWh is confirmed, with efficiency improvements maintaining similar range. Finally, a bug affecting Sentry Mode on radar-less Model 3 and Model Y vehicles is mentioned, expected to be fixed via software.
