TESLA AND FORD JUST ANNOUNCED MASSIVE PARTNERSHIP, CYBERTRUCK INTERIOR LEAK, HARDWARE 4 ROLLOUT

EV Channels Review

This episode of Tesla Daily covers several significant developments. The most impactful announcement is the partnership between Ford and Tesla, granting Ford customers access to Tesla's Supercharger network in North America starting in early 2024 and adopting the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector. The reviewer highlights this as a potential inflection point for the EV industry, establishing Tesla as a key infrastructure provider, though the direct benefit to Tesla beyond this role remains unclear. Additionally, the report confirms the rollout of Hardware 4 components to Model Y vehicles, aligning with previous sightings in Model S and X. Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta has been spotted testing in international markets, including Canada, Germany, Australia, and Belgium, with the latter being particularly noteworthy due to its right-hand drive configuration. A leaked interior photo of the Cybertruck reveals a minimalist design with no stalks and a unique center console, though the reviewer cautions about potential lens distortion. Finally, the Model Y is reported to have been the best-selling car globally in Q1, a remarkable achievement against strong competition. A report on leaked Tesla safety data is also discussed, with the reviewer downplaying the severity of the reported issues given the vast number of vehicles and years covered.
