NEW CYBERTRUCK CELLS AND RANGE / TOYOTA EXTREMELY CONCERNED / HUGE GROWTH SURGE PREDICTED

EV Channels Review

This video delves into significant developments surrounding Tesla's 4680 battery production at Giga Texas, highlighting a transition to NMC 955 chemistry and experimental asymmetric lamination, which could boost energy density by 10-20%. While these advancements promise cost reductions and improved performance, the reviewer cautions that their direct impact on Cybertruck range or availability for consumers is not guaranteed. A key takeaway from an independent Cybertruck range test revealed 254 miles at 70 mph in cold weather (45°F), a 20% reduction from its listed range, though warmer temperatures and all-season tires could improve this. The video also touches on other EV news, including strong Model Y sales in Australia, Tesla's inclusion in a UAW unionization letter, and the temporary suspension of the Chevy Blazer EV due to software issues. The reviewer expresses excitement for future 4680 improvements benefiting later Cybertruck buyers.
