NEW TESLA PROTOTYPE SPOTTED IN SAN FRANCISCO

EV Channels Review

This video delves into several key Tesla developments, starting with the surprising statistic that EVs, particularly the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, are significantly less likely to be stolen than gasoline-powered vehicles, attributed to advanced security features like key cards, phone apps, Sentry Mode, and Pin to Drive. The review then speculates on Tesla's upcoming affordable models, potentially based on the Model 3 and Y platforms, with a production start slated for the first half of 2025. A significant portion of the video is dedicated to a mysterious camouflaged Tesla prototype spotted in San Francisco, which exhibits design cues from both older and refreshed Model 3s, leading to speculation it could be a test mule for a cheaper variant or a new design element like a rear light bar. Finally, the video touches on advancements in EV battery technology, specifically a new 6C rated fast-charging battery from SAIC GM and CATL, and other automakers' adoption of the NACS charging standard, alongside software updates for Rivian and a controversial Ford patent for in-car advertising.
