TESLA FIXES SUPPLY ISSUES EARLY | FORD IS FURIOUS

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive overview of recent Tesla developments, focusing on the resolution of supply chain issues and future product strategies. The reviewer highlights the significant reduction in manufacturing costs, from $84,000 in 2017 to $36,000 per vehicle currently, attributing this to factory efficiencies and expanded partnerships beyond Panasonic. A key takeaway is Tesla's improved battery supply, enabling the return of standalone Powerwall orders and supporting increased vehicle production. The reviewer expresses excitement about upcoming software features like Steam integration and alternate routes, while also detailing frustrations with the current Tesla Profiles feature, which syncs settings incorrectly between different vehicles. The discussion on a potential $25,000 Tesla is tempered by the current strong demand for Model 3 and Y, suggesting a cheaper model is unlikely until production capacity significantly increases or a robo-taxi service is established, with a potential 2024 robo-taxi rollout mentioned. The video also touches on competitor news, including BMW's development of 46mm battery cells and Aptera's solar EV.
