TESLAS RISKY MOVE TO HELP THE EV INDUSTRY ELON BETTER BE RIGHT

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive overview of recent Tesla developments, focusing on the highly anticipated Tesla Semi delivery event, the commencement of Cybertruck production hiring, and a significant shift in charging standards. The reviewer highlights the Semi's December 1st delivery to Pepsi, noting its 500-mile range and the potential for cost savings in trucking. The Cybertruck's production is gaining momentum with new job postings at the Texas Gigafactory, signaling a mid-2023 target. Perhaps the most impactful news is Tesla's decision to open its proprietary charging connector, now dubbed NACS, to the broader industry, a move lauded for its size, power, and potential to unify North American charging infrastructure, though the reviewer questions why it wasn't adopted sooner. Additionally, the video touches on the return of fast charging for salvaged Teslas, the release of new Model Y colors (Quicksilver and Midnight Cherry Red) from Giga Berlin, a debunked rumor about exporting China-made EVs to North America, and Tesla's scaling back of direct solar installations in favor of certified installers. The overall tone is informative, with a critical eye on Tesla's strategic decisions.
