TESLA MODEL S DELIVERY EVENT EXPECTATIONS

EV Channels Review

This video previews Tesla's Plaid Model S delivery event, focusing on audience expectations gathered via Twitter polls. Key discussion points include the battery cell form factor (with a consensus leaning towards 18650 over 4680), the likelihood of increased EPA range estimates (speculation fueled by the Plaid+ cancellation), and the potential rollout of the v11 software update across the Model 3 and Y. The reviewer expresses skepticism about a surprise "one more thing" announcement, believing the Plaid Model S itself offers enough substance. While acknowledging the possibility of the new Model X being showcased, the reviewer leans towards a Model S-exclusive focus. The discussion also touches upon the stock's potential reaction, the new yoke steering wheel's legality, and the powertrain advancements, including weight reduction and aerodynamic improvements. The reviewer anticipates a detailed look at the interior, gaming capabilities, audio system, and smart shift features, while downplaying expectations for Nürburgring lap times or immediate FSD updates.
