EV Channels Review

This episode of Electrified covers a range of significant developments in the EV market. Key news includes Tesla's ongoing SEC investigation into its solar panel systems, stemming from a 2019 whistleblower report, though the SEC has stated this does not indicate violations. Lucid Group has also been subpoenaed by the SEC regarding its SPAC deal, with potential investigation into projections. On a more positive note, the Model Y Performance for 2022 will now come standard with Michelin Pilot All Season 4 tires, a welcome change for those in colder climates. The video also touches on the ramping production of Model S and X, the Tesla Supercharger network's award as the UK's best, and the potential opening of the network to non-Teslas in Norway. Analyst ratings for Rivian are discussed, with some Wall Street analysts showing a preference for Rivian over Tesla, a point the host views with skepticism. The episode concludes with a discussion on the proposed US EV tax credit and its potential trade implications with Mexico and other countries.
