TESLA'S LATEST FSD IMPRESSES / MAJOR TESLA CHARGING UPDATE: NOT WHAT YOU THINK

EV Channels Review

The video provides an in-depth look at Tesla's latest Full Self-Driving (FSD) 12.5.6.0.3 software, highlighting its improved highway performance with an end-to-end neural network. While generally impressive, particularly in lane changes and navigating complex highway exits, the reviewer notes instances where the system hesitated or came to an unnecessary stop in city driving, and was overly cautious with pedestrians. The reviewer also discusses a significant update to Tesla's V4 Supercharger cabinets, capable of delivering up to 500 kW for cars and 1.2 MW for semis. This upgrade promises faster charging for Cybertruck and other 800V vehicles, with twice the number of posts per cabinet and improved efficiency, though current Model S/X vehicles are not expected to see immediate benefits. Finally, the video touches on the potential repeal of EV tax credits under a Trump administration, which could negatively impact the broader EV market but potentially offer Tesla more flexibility in sourcing and pricing. The reviewer concludes that while the tax credit repeal is a net negative for the EV industry, Tesla may ultimately benefit from legacy automakers scaling back EV development.
