2025 TESLAS ARE GETTING WORSE | NEW MODEL NIGHTMARES

EV Channels Review

This video meticulously details Tesla's trend of removing hardware and software features from its vehicles, often citing cost-cutting or efficiency as justifications. While some removals, like the ultrasonic sensors or radar, were eventually compensated for with software updates or improved camera systems, others, such as the removal of basic autopilot on the Cybertruck or the elimination of the rain sensor, have left owners frustrated. The reviewer highlights that while Tesla's profitability allows for such decisions, the lack of clear communication regarding these changes is a recurring issue. The video also points out that some removed features, like the parcel shelf on the Model Y or the mobile connector, have been reintroduced on newer models, suggesting a reactive rather than proactive approach to feature management. Ultimately, the video serves as a cautionary tale about relying on promised future software updates and underscores the importance of understanding what features are physically present at the time of purchase.
