TESLA FINALLY PARTNERS WITH APPLE | MODEL Y'S BEST NEW FEATURE

EV Channels Review

The video discusses several significant developments for Tesla owners and prospective buyers. A major highlight is the reported upcoming integration of Apple CarPlay, a feature long requested by many users, which is expected to appear as an app within Tesla's existing infotainment system. This move is seen as a strategic effort to boost sales, especially following the loss of the US federal EV tax credit. The reviewer also notes the return of the turn signal stalk to the Model 3 and Y, a change driven by customer demand. Lease prices for the Model Y have seen a substantial reduction, now offering $0 down payments, making it a more attractive option. The video also touches upon Tesla's efforts to reduce reliance on Chinese components for US-built vehicles, potential implications for pricing, and an updated referral program offering incentives for FSD. Supercharger network updates include dynamic pricing expansion, and new FSD safety data is presented, claiming significant reductions in collisions. Finally, the video briefly covers competitor news, including VW ID4/ID Buzz accessing Superchargers, the new affordable Chevy Bolt (notably omitting CarPlay), and Waymo's expansion of autonomous freeway driving.
