EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive update on Tesla's recent developments, covering production numbers, software enhancements, and future concepts. The reviewer highlights Tesla's Q2 2022 production dip due to factory shutdowns and supply chain issues, but emphasizes the record-breaking production month in June. Key software updates discussed include adaptive suspension for rough roads (currently limited to premium models), improved seat belt pre-tensioners utilizing Tesla Vision, and a new traffic light chime feature. The potential for a Tesla solar range extender trailer is explored, offering a stationary charging solution with fold-out solar wings. A significant segment is dedicated to the Model S Plaid's top speed, revealing that while software-locked, it can achieve over 216 mph with aftermarket modifications and upgraded brakes, surpassing Tesla's stated 200 mph potential. The video also touches on the ramp-up of Giga Texas production using 2170 cells and the ongoing development of the 4680 structural pack Model Y. Finally, it briefly mentions competitor updates from VW and Hyundai.
