EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive walkthrough of Tesla's 2023 Holiday Update (version 2023.44.30.5.1), focusing on features accessible to a 2018 Model 3 owner. The reviewer highlights new additions like Apple Podcasts, Tesla Arcade updates (including controller rumble support), automatic 911 calls, speed camera alerts, trip planner on the mobile app, alternative route selection while driving, and light show customization. However, a significant portion of the video is dedicated to features not available on the older hardware, such as the cabin camera for driver monitoring, advanced park assist, and certain games requiring MCU 3. The reviewer expresses surprise at the number of features missing from their older vehicle. The video also touches upon the controversial autopilot recall, detailing improvements to driver monitoring and a new suspension policy for improper usage. While the reviewer appreciates the new functionalities, the disparity between advertised features and older hardware compatibility is a key takeaway.
