EV Channels Review

This episode of Tesla Daily provides an in-depth look at recent developments, primarily focusing on the Cybertruck and FSD Beta. Regarding the Cybertruck, insights from Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen suggest production is likely more than six months away, with ongoing design refinements. Key features discussed include Model X-style automatic doors, the potential for a yoke steering wheel, and the durability of the stainless steel exterior, which can be buffed out. Pleasant surprises and potential vehicle-to-grid functionality were hinted at, though not confirmed. The discussion also touched upon the possibility of a "cyber van" based on design principles shared for the Cybertruck. For FSD Beta, Elon Musk indicated that version 11.3 is expected to roll out soon, with a significant update involving neural nets for vehicle navigation and control, not just vision. The review also debunks a Reuters headline about a "staged" FSD demo, clarifying that it refers to the 2016 video and that current Tesla vehicles achieve most of the demonstrated capabilities. Other updates covered Tesla's strong insured vehicle numbers in China post-price cuts, Hertz and Uber's EV expansion in Europe, and ongoing discussions with Indonesia regarding EV deals.
