NEW DETAILS | TESLA’S SECRET PLAN FOR CYBERTRUCK'S RANGE

EV Channels Review

This episode delves into the perplexing findings from Sandy Munro's Cybertruck battery teardown, revealing that the 4680 cells appear to be 'half empty,' raising significant questions about the vehicle's initially disappointing range. While Tesla's lead engineer offered a more optimistic 'half full' perspective, the discussion highlights the discrepancy between expected and actual range, the unusual battery pack design (not cell-to-structure), and the potential for future improvements or cost-saving measures. The podcast also touches upon Tesla's rumored shift away from a cheaper $25,000 model in favor of a Robotaxi, a claim Elon Musk has refuted. Additionally, the review praises the latest FSD 12.3.4 version as a significant improvement, nearing a point where it could be used daily. Other topics include Rivian's $5,000 free wrap offer, Fisker's financial struggles, and BMW's partnership with Rimac for high-performance batteries. The hosts express frustration over the sale of a limited-edition Cyberhammer, emphasizing the collectible nature of such items.
