MUSK REVEALS XAI - WILL WORK WITH TESLA, CYBERTRUCK BODIES, PRODUCTION DETAILS

EV Channels Review

The latest Tesla Daily podcast covers a range of significant updates, starting with Elon Musk's unveiling of xAI, a new artificial intelligence company. While xAI is a separate entity, it's positioned to collaborate closely with Tesla and X (Twitter), fostering knowledge and employee sharing. The podcast also touches upon AI's future risks and regulation. Key Tesla-specific news includes a visual confirmation of Cybertruck bodies at Giga Texas, indicating production progress. Shanghai's production figures are strong, notably producing its millionth Model Y, though the high Model 3 output suggests less retooling for the 'Highland' update than anticipated, potentially impacting Berlin and Texas production forecasts. Tesla has updated its website to warn of likely federal tax credit reductions after December 31, 2023, particularly affecting the Model 3. The New Jersey EV tax credit program has been extended, offering significant savings. Software updates include customizable wiper controls via steering wheel buttons. A class-action lawsuit regarding Solar Roof price increases has been settled for $6 million, revealing a high cancellation rate among affected customers. Finally, the UAW is preparing for negotiations, and Lucid's Q2 delivery and production numbers show continued challenges with growing inventory.
