NEW TESLA MODEL Y | 400 MILES OF RANGE?

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive update on Tesla's latest developments, with a particular focus on the Model Y. The reviewer discusses the potential for a 'super long range' Model Y variant in China, which could offer approximately 397 miles of EPA-estimated range (351 miles). While this is a significant improvement, it's noted that this figure is based on the less realistic NEDC standard and may be achieved through a larger battery or a rear-wheel-drive configuration. The video also touches upon the ongoing European deliveries of the Model Y from Giga Shanghai and the anticipation for production at Giga Berlin and Texas. Other key topics include updates on the Model S Plaid's performance against the Rimac Nevera, a teardown of the Plaid, new wheel options for the Model S and X, the delayed Cybertruck timeline (now targeting 2022 with Hardware 4.0), and a critical look at Ford's BlueCruise system, which is deemed not truly hands-free. The reviewer also mentions the increased Tesla order fee to $250 and provides an update on the FSD Beta, noting its current limitations despite ongoing improvements.
