AUSTRALIA TESLA FSD LAUNCH IMMINENT FOR FRIDAY 29 AUGUST 2025?

EV Channels Review

The EV Show by Ludicrous Feed discusses the highly anticipated potential launch of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system in Australia, speculated for August 29, 2025. The hosts and guest Roland Lam analyze preview videos and media reports, noting the system's apparent capabilities and the regulatory nuances in Australia, where it will likely be classified as Level 2 autonomy. While FSD's release could generate publicity and potentially boost Tesla sales, the panel expresses skepticism about a drastic sales surge, given the high cost of the FSD option ($10,100 AUD) and the focus on Hardware 4 vehicles. The discussion also touches on the possibility of a subscription model, which would be more accessible. Beyond FSD, the episode covers other EV news, including Xpeng's software updates, the Geely Radar ute's launch in New Zealand, and the Cybertruck's arrival in South Korea. The Model Y L's third-row comfort and efficiency are debated, with comparisons drawn to competitors like the Volvo EX90 and Kia EV9. Finally, ADR approvals for the Zeekr 7X and Nio Firefly are highlighted, signaling further expansion of EV options in the Australian market.
