PODCAST: MODEL Y REFRESH LEAK, TESLA FSD DATA, AUDI A6 E-TRON, AND MORE

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Electrek Podcast delves into several key EV developments, with a significant focus on Tesla. The hosts discuss the leaked images of the upcoming Model Y refresh, highlighting potential design changes like a new rear light bar and interior ambient lighting, suggesting it will be a more substantial update than the Model 3's. They also touch upon the ongoing controversy surrounding Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) data, noting Elon Musk's lowered expectations for August's improvements and the discrepancy between Tesla's claimed data and crowdsourced figures. The discussion also covers the Audi A6 e-tron's unveiling, the Lucid Gravity's production start, and BYD's expansion into Canada and partnership with Uber. While the Model Y refresh is anticipated to bring aesthetic improvements, the hosts emphasize that Tesla's core bet remains on FSD, the progress of which is still viewed with skepticism.
