ELECTREK PODCAST: TESLA MODEL Y UNVEILING, AUTOPILOT PRICES, AND MORE

EV Channels Review

The Electrek Podcast discusses the unveiling of the Tesla Model Y, highlighting its similarities to the Model 3 but noting key differences like the hatch design and optional third row. While the reviewer acknowledges impressive range and performance specs, they express disappointment with the lack of emphasis on the hatch and the small, likely child-only, third-row seating. The event itself is described as tame, with logistical issues like early bar closure and sweet drinks. The discussion also touches on Tesla's financial situation, the controversial changes to Autopilot pricing, and the potential for the Model Y to cannibalize Model 3 and Model X sales. The episode concludes with a look at Tesla's European market success and aftermarket efficiency modifications for the Model 3.
