IS TESLA MAKING THE MODEL S QUAD?

EV Channels Review

This video delves into several key Tesla developments, including the potential for a quad-motor Model S, production updates for the Model Y in Berlin, and advancements in Tesla's AI and Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities. The reviewer highlights that while a quad-motor Model S is theoretically possible, Tesla has opted against it for now due to efficiency, cost, and complexity concerns, deeming the tri-motor Plaid sufficient for current performance records. The Model Y production in Berlin is discussed, with a focus on Tesla's dual-line strategy to accommodate both existing and future 4680 battery cell integrated models. Significant attention is given to Tesla's FSD progress, or lack thereof, with the reviewer expressing skepticism about Elon Musk's frequently optimistic timelines, while acknowledging the development of a powerful new supercomputer for AI training. The video also touches on Tesla's official police Model 3 in the UK and a contest to win a Model 3. Overall, the review points to Tesla's continued innovation but cautions viewers about the long and often delayed road to full self-driving.
