NEW TESLA UPDATE RELEASED! - TESLA MODEL 3 + MODEL Y

EV Channels Review

This video delves into several significant Tesla updates, focusing on software enhancements and production news. The reviewer highlights the release of new Model Y vehicles from Giga Texas, noting improved fit and finish compared to previous Fremont builds. However, a key point of contention for the Long Range Model Y is the continued use of 2170 cells instead of the newer 4680 structural battery pack, a decision attributed to production ramp-up demands. On the software front, the green light chime is now available to all Tesla owners, not just FSD subscribers, and navigation now prominently displays the estimated state of charge upon arrival. A more controversial update involves the potential use of the interior cabin camera for monitoring driver attention on Autopilot, raising privacy concerns. The video also discusses Tesla's controversial move to open its Supercharger network to non-Tesla EVs, with the reviewer acknowledging Tesla owner frustration over potential increased congestion and reduced charging perks. Finally, a curious observation is made about some owners receiving charging cables despite Tesla's official stance on their removal.
