TESLA CONFIRMS SPACE X COLLABORATION & RUST BUSTING WITH EXPERT GUEST

EV Channels Review

This episode of Trending in Tesla delves into several significant developments, starting with the highly anticipated next-generation Tesla Roadster. Elon Musk has confirmed a SpaceX collaboration, hinting at performance metrics under one second 0-60 and a potential levitating capability using cold air thrusters, though street legality remains a question. The discussion also addresses the media's focus on Cybertruck rust, with expert Ryan McCaffrey clarifying it's likely surface contamination, similar to stainless steel dishwashers, rather than inherent rust. The conversation highlights that while DeLorean owners didn't face this issue due to design differences, the Cybertruck's stainless steel exterior is susceptible to external iron deposits that can be cleaned. The video also touches on new Cybertruck wrap colors, the broader EV market's challenges with legacy automakers scaling back EV projects, and Apple's cancellation of its own EV initiative. Despite market headwinds and negative headlines, a recent study shows Tesla's environmental improvements and the Model 3's popularity in US searches, indicating continued EV interest.
