POSSIBLE TESLA MODEL 3 REFRESH LEAKED, NEW CHEAPER TESLA MODEL Y OFFERED

EV Channels Review

This episode of Inside EVs discusses potential Tesla Model 3 refreshes and a new, more affordable Model Y variant. The primary focus, however, shifts to the Ram 1500 REV pickup truck. The REV will offer a standard 168 kWh battery for an estimated 350 miles of range, with an optional 229 kWh pack promising up to 500 miles. A notable tease of an 'XR' trim level suggests 'class-shattering' range, potentially through a range-extender system, though details remain scarce. The discussion also touches on the Chevrolet Silverado EV, highlighting its more futuristic design compared to the REV and Ford F-150 Lightning, but noting its smaller front trunk. The segment concludes with a detailed comparison of the Ford F-150 Lightning and Rivian R1T range tests, where the Rivian, utilizing its conserve mode and lower suspension, significantly outperformed the Lightning in favorable weather conditions. The hosts also briefly cover the Nissan Ariya's charging curve and pricing, deeming it uncompetitive.
