TESLA STOPS PRODUCTION ON MODEL Y | HERE’S WHAT’S HAPPENING

EV Channels Review

The video discusses the upcoming 'Juniper' refresh for the Tesla Model Y, with production shutdowns at the Fremont factory indicating an imminent launch, likely in Q1 2025. Sightings of camouflaged Model Y vehicles with distinctive light bars and split headlights, produced in both Fremont and Texas, suggest a design similar to the Cybertruck and the refreshed Model 3. The review highlights Tesla's continued dominance, with the Model 3 being named Sweden's Car of the Year, outperforming competitors like the BYD Seal. Significant advancements in Full Self-Driving (FSD) V12 and V13 are noted, with improved handling of emergency vehicles and school buses, leading the reviewer to change his stance on recommending the FSD package. The video also explores opportunities for purchasing cheaper Teslas, including Hertz's fleet sales and Tesla's end-of-year inventory deals on higher trims. Finally, it touches upon Tesla's expansion of battery suppliers, including a potential deal with Chinese manufacturer EVE Energy for LFP batteries, which could impact future affordable EV production and tax credits.
