ANOTHER TESLA FUD NARRATIVE DIES / SOFTWARE UPDATE / PRICE CUTS / 4680 MODEL Y

EV Channels Review

The video provides a comprehensive update on Tesla's recent activities, focusing on significant price cuts across the Model 3, Y, S, and X lineups, with the Model Y seeing a $2,000 reduction for Long Range and Performance variants. A key highlight is the official addition of the 4680 all-wheel-drive Model Y to the configurator, priced at $49,990, making it a compelling option in the SUV segment. The reviewer emphasizes that these price adjustments are driven by affordability, addressing demand limitations. Beyond pricing, the video details a new software update (2023.12) introducing user-friendly features like larger text options, enhanced navigation controls, and improved steering wheel scroll wheel functionality. The expansion of Tesla's Megapack factory in Shanghai and its potential to significantly boost energy revenue, possibly overshadowing automotive revenue in the long term, is also a major point. The reviewer dismisses the narrative of Tesla being solely a car company, highlighting the immense financial potential of its energy division. Minor updates include new yoke materials and V4 Supercharger access for non-Teslas.
