TESLA AND ELECTRIC VEHICLE NEWS UPDATE AND ROUNDUP FROM AUSTRALIA

EV Channels Review

This episode of Ludicrous Feed Live focuses on the Australian EV market, with a particular emphasis on BYD's upcoming models. The BYD Seal has been fully revealed in New Zealand, with three variants planned, including a 3.8-second 0-100km/h performance model, though pricing is still being finalized. The Seal has also been spotted testing in Australia, raising questions about why New Zealand launches precede Australian ones. The BYD Dolphin is set for an Australian launch on June 22nd, with expectations of it being Australia's most affordable high-quality EV, potentially starting in the low $40,000s. However, the phasing out of Victorian EV rebates poses a challenge, and it's uncertain if the Dolphin will qualify before the deadline. The discussion also touches on Tesla's inventory reductions for the Model 3, the increasing number of FSD beta vehicles in Australia, and the ongoing debate about charging standards, with CCS2 expected to remain dominant in Australia despite US trends. The episode highlights the growing EV market in Australia, with BYD poised to make a significant impact.
