TESLA REALLY CANCELLED IT / ROBOTAXI FEATURES DROP, BUT.../ IT FINALLY HAPPENED

EV Channels Review

The video discusses Tesla's advancements and setbacks, starting with the exciting potential of its 'Robo Taxi' (codenamed Alicorn), with features like adjustable pickup locations and destination entry being developed. However, the video notes Tesla's struggle to trademark the term 'Robo Taxi' due to its generic nature. A significant disappointment for some is Tesla's cancellation of the Cybertruck range extender, a feature promised to deposit holders, raising concerns about Tesla's commitment to its promises. On a positive note, the video highlights Tesla's ongoing innovation in Supercharger pricing, piloting dynamic on- and off-peak rates based on real-time utilization to improve accuracy and potentially lower costs. It also touches on global market dynamics, including Chinese EV manufacturers avoiding EU tariffs by exporting plug-in hybrids and potential tariff relief for EVs in India. The new Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive is noted for its increased range and improved sound system at the same price point. The video concludes by mentioning Tesla's stock performance and the growing importance of its battery division, particularly in Australia, where it now surpasses EV sales revenue.
