CYBERTRUCK LEAKS, DEALERS PLEAD FOR EV SLOW DOWN, TESLA THAILAND

EV Channels Review

This episode of Tesla Daily provides an in-depth look at recent Cybertruck developments, primarily driven by new details appearing in the Tesla app. The reviewer highlights the visibility of "Beast Mode" with a sub-3-second 0-60 mph target, interior shots including steering wheel and rear screen details, and the potential for three sets of wheels (18-inch standard, 20-inch premium with aero covers, and an unconfirmed "premium" option). The inclusion of an optional light bar accessory and a "Basecamp" tent attachment suggests Tesla's broader accessory strategy for the Cybertruck. Beyond the Cybertruck, the report covers strong Tesla sales in China, minor price adjustments for the Model Y Long Range, and insurance subsidies for the RWD Model Y. Supercharger network expansion in China to support third-party EVs is also noted. Investment reports from Thailand suggest a potential $5 billion investment, though details remain unclear. The German EV credit faces potential risk due to funding challenges, and a significant number of US dealerships have urged a slowdown in EV adoption, a point the reviewer questions by highlighting the poor sales of the Toyota bZ4X. Finally, GM's scaling back of its Cruise investment is mentioned as a significant shift.
