WHY TESLA JUST REMOVED A LONG RANGE MODEL

EV Channels Review

The video discusses Tesla's strategic decision to remove the Long Range Model 3 Dual Motor variant from the Chinese market configurator. The host speculates this move is driven by Tesla's focus on prioritizing Model Y production and exports, especially in anticipation of Giga Berlin's ramp-up. The analysis suggests Tesla's data on demand and supply constraints likely informed this decision, potentially due to higher profit margins or greater demand for the Model Y. Additionally, the video touches upon the Supercharger network's upgrade to 300 kW, raising questions about compatibility with existing Tesla models and the industry's shift towards 800V systems, with Tesla's continued reliance on 400V explained by economies of scale and component availability. Other topics include Starlink's ping improvements, Tesla's chip design versus manufacturing, and the ongoing issue of Chevy Bolt fires, which the host views as detrimental to the broader EV industry's image.
