NEW TESLA MODEL Y JUST ANNOUNCED FOR 2023

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive overview of recent Tesla news and developments. A significant portion is dedicated to Elon Musk's increased involvement with Twitter, detailing his expanded workload and the platform's potential changes like long-form content and creator monetization. The review highlights concerns among Tesla enthusiasts about Musk's divided attention potentially impacting Tesla's reputation and stock. The core of the video focuses on the 2023 Model Y, confirming the return of a "Standard Range" AWD configuration produced at Giga Texas, which is expected to qualify for the $7,500 EV tax credit. However, speculation abounds regarding Tesla potentially increasing prices or canceling other trims (like the Model 3 Long Range/Performance) to navigate the tax credit's MSRP caps. The video also touches on the strict battery sourcing requirements for the tax credit, other automakers' strategies, a minor Cybertruck design update (charge port door), Tesla's new referral program in China, and competitor updates from BMW and Lamborghini. The reviewer expresses a desire for Tesla to adopt vehicle-to-grid capabilities seen in other EVs.
