2025 TESLAS ARE GETTING WORSE | THESE DOWNGRADES AREN'T FAIR

EV Channels Review

This video meticulously details numerous features Tesla has removed from its vehicles over the years, often citing cost-cutting or regulatory reasons. While some removals, like the elimination of radar and ultrasonic sensors, were eventually compensated for by software advancements (Tesla Vision), others, such as the removal of physical stalks for shifting and signaling, remain controversial. The loss of the mobile connector, parcel shelf, and adjustable passenger lumbar support are highlighted as significant downgrades, particularly given Tesla's premium pricing. The video also touches on the removal of gaming capabilities while driving and the controversial reduction in speaker count for certain trims. Despite these perceived "downgrades," the reviewer acknowledges Tesla's focus on innovation and cost efficiency, suggesting these changes are part of a larger strategy to remain at the forefront of the EV market, even if it leads to customer frustration.
