SHOCKING NEW LEAKS AND PRICE INCREASE FOR TESLA MODEL 3 AND MODEL Y

EV Channels Review

The video discusses several significant updates and potential changes within the Tesla ecosystem. Key takeaways include Tesla's recent website overhaul which, despite price drops, introduced a $1000 charge for the previously free Midnight Silver Metallic paint, and new color options like Midnight Cherry and Quicksilver launching in Europe, with a US release anticipated. The destination fee has also increased by $190. Regarding federal tax credits, the video advises ordering by March to secure current incentives due to potential changes in qualification criteria. A notable correction is made regarding software add-ons like FSD not counting against the MSRP cap. The MyQ smart garage integration is experiencing issues with trial expirations. The discussion highlights that the Standard Range Model Y is becoming less compelling compared to the Long Range version due to pricing. A significant development is the upcoming opening of a Supercharger in Hawthorne, California, to non-Tesla EVs via CCS support and Tesla's new 'magic dock'. For the refreshed Model 3, leaks suggest minimal exterior changes but potential interior upgrades, including the return of ultrasonic sensors and significant improvements with Tesla Hardware 4, featuring higher-resolution cameras, potential heating components, and a next-generation computer for enhanced processing power and future-proofing. The Sonic game's temporary removal from the toy box is also mentioned, with its return expected in a future update.
