TESLA'S NEW "LARGER" MODEL Y LOOKS IMPRESSIVE - UNTIL YOU SEE THIS

EV Channels Review

This video covers several significant Tesla updates, with a primary focus on the new, longer Model Y variant announced in China. The hosts express surprise and a degree of regret for not waiting to purchase their own Model Y, given the extended wheelbase (7 inches longer) and improved interior space, including captain's style seating for six. They note this new 'Model Y L' is shorter than the Model X but longer than competitors like the Kia EV9 and Rivian R1S, positioning it as a more family-friendly option. The discussion also touches on the new Model 3 Plus with increased range (though CLTC figures are clarified to be lower by EPA standards), and the controversial integration of Grok AI into Tesla vehicles, with concerns raised about its 'sexy' and 'unhinged' personality modes crossing a line. Other topics include the expansion of Tesla's Robotaxi service area with a suggestive icon, a partnership between Uber and Lucid for a future robotaxi fleet, Rivian's expansion plans, and the opening of the Tesla Diner. The hosts highlight the growing competition in the EV market and the evolving charging infrastructure.
