EV Channels Review

This episode of Electrified covers a range of Tesla-related news, with a particular focus on the upcoming release of the Model 3 Ludicrous trim, which has been spotted testing and is expected to invite global media soon. The host also delves into the latest developments with Tesla's Autopark feature, now vision-only and utilizing the same neural nets as FSD v12, with a potential customer rollout in April. Significant attention is given to Tesla Semi production, highlighting its reliance on supplier parts and the possibility of a modest production run before the high-volume factory is ready. Other topics include Senator Warren's renewed scrutiny of Tesla's board independence, changes to the referral program offering FSD and premium connectivity, an update to the safety score algorithm, the world's first third-party operated Tesla fast-charging station in the UK, and a brief look at Rivian's leasing options and Tesla's stock performance. The review also touches on potentially misinterpreted EU market share data for EVs and early trials for the Optimus bot.
