2 NEW TESLA MODEL Y COMING SOON

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive update on Tesla, focusing heavily on the Model Y. The reviewer highlights significant price increases for the Long Range Model Y, now starting at $59,990, attributed to rising nickel costs. Demand for Tesla vehicles is surging due to high gas prices, leading to longer wait times, with Tesla now incentivizing FSD package purchases by offering earlier delivery dates. The most significant news concerns two new Model Y variants confirmed by EPA filings: a 2022 All-Wheel Drive model with a 279-mile range, potentially utilizing LFP batteries or a smaller 4680 cell pack from Giga Texas, and another uncertified variant. The reviewer expresses frustration with the FSD incentive but acknowledges Tesla's need to prioritize higher-revenue orders. The piece also touches on Tesla Insurance expansion, FSD Beta 10.11 updates, and NHTSA's finalized rules for vehicles without driving controls. Other EV news includes Ford's aggressive European EV plans, VW's ID. Buzz unveiling (with a delayed US release), and Rivian's Q4 earnings and production challenges. The reviewer generally advises against purchasing FSD at its current price and suggests ordering a Tesla sooner rather than later due to anticipated further price hikes.
