The real-world range is estimated to be around 650 km (EPA equivalent) for the Max trim, which is still considered very impressive. The rapid charging capability, capable of adding significant range in just 12 minutes, is another standout feature.

This live stream fact-checks Tesla's Q1 2025 earnings call, focusing on Elon Musk's statements regarding his government work, the company�... more39;s financial performance, and future product roadmaps.

Podcast: How Elon Musk Killed Tesla Model 2, Global EV Sales Surge, and Chinese EVs Keep Killing It
This podcast episode delves into significant shifts and challenges within the EV market, particularly focusing on Tesla. A major point of discussion i... mores Elon Musk's decision to reportedly kill the $25,000 'Model 2' (NV91/NV92) in favor of prioritizing the Robotaxi, a move that has led to the departure of key executives. The review highlights the internal debate, with some executives presenting data suggesting the Robotaxi program might be financially risky and cannibalize existing sales, while Musk remained resolute. The episode also addresses Tesla's declining used car values, which are underperforming the broader market, attributed to brand degradation and high inventory. The Cybertruck is described as a "flop," with significant discounts and production cuts due to drastically lower-than-projected demand. On a positive note, global EV sales are surging, up 29% in Q1 2024, driven heavily by China, which continues to dominate with impressive offerings like the ZEEKR 007 GT, praised for its range, features, and aggressive pricing.

Material innovation, including sustainable options and a focus on design inspired by mid-century modern furniture, is also a strong point.

Podcast: New Tesla Cybertruck, Tariff Mayhem, Lucid Buys Nikola, and More
The Electrek Podcast discusses the newly launched rear-wheel-drive Tesla Cybertruck, which is now positioned as the 'Long Range' model. The ... morereviewer expresses significant disappointment, labeling it a "complete flop." While the range has increased to 350 miles, the price has also risen to $70,000, only $10,000 less than the dual-motor AWD version. Crucially, this RWD model omits several key features previously expected, including the motorized tonneau cover, adaptive suspension, and rear bed outlets. The reviewer argues that for a $10,000 saving, buyers lose features worth significantly more, making the dual-motor version a much more attractive proposition. The removal of the range extender option and the high price point for the reduced feature set lead to the conclusion that this variant is unlikely to be a volume seller and may be intended to make the higher trims appear more appealing. less
