TESLA'S NEW OPTIMUS PLAN / WHY FSD V14 ISN'T GOING WIDE / NEW CYBERCAB TESTING

EV Channels Review

The video discusses Tesla's potential introduction of a single-motor rear-wheel-drive Model Y variant in China, expected to offer the longest range in the lineup, possibly reaching 800 km CLTC. This move mirrors the Model 3 Plus strategy, aiming to bridge the gap between entry-level and AWD models. The review also touches on Tesla's Optimus robot, clarifying that recent demonstrations featured AI-driven simulations rather than physical appearances in the Tron movie premiere. While Optimus v2.5 was shown, v3 remains under wraps, a strategic move for investors. The video highlights Figure AI's progress with its Figure 03 robot, emphasizing its advancements in manufacturing, sensors, and general-purpose capabilities, though timelines for availability are still unclear. A significant portion is dedicated to FSD v14.1, noting its impressive capabilities but also its current drawbacks, including harsh braking and hesitation in complex urban environments, suggesting it needs further refinement before widespread release. The Cybertruck's FSD integration is anticipated soon. Finally, the video briefly covers the NTSA's new investigation into FSD, potential Cybertruck crash testing, and other minor Tesla news.
