SPIED: BUDGET TESLA MODEL Y IN CHINA + NEW EVS COMING TO AUSTRALIA

EV Channels Review

This episode of Ludicrous Feed Live discusses the potential for a budget Tesla Model Y variant spotted in China, alongside other EV news relevant to Australia. The panel speculates on cost-cutting measures for the budget Model Y, such as the removal of the full-width light bar and panoramic glass roof, with some suggesting it could target the ride-sharing market. However, concerns are raised about whether this move might dilute the Tesla brand or cannibalize sales, with a suggestion that a dedicated 'Model 2' might be a better approach. The discussion also touches on a potential 6-seater Model Y variant and the return of the Midnight Cherry color. Other topics include Xpeng G6 Supercharger compatibility, the Nissan Ariya's Australian launch, BYD's expansion, and EV road trip planning. The overall sentiment towards a budget Model Y is mixed, with a leaning towards the idea that Tesla should focus on new, more affordable models rather than stripping down existing ones.
