TESLA IS INCREASING PRICES | DON'T MAKE A MISTAKE

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive overview of recent Tesla news, focusing on global sales performance, price adjustments, and competitive benchmarking. The reviewer highlights Tesla's strong market presence in Switzerland, the UK, and Australia, with the Model 3 and Model Y consistently topping sales charts. A significant point is the leaked pricing for the Model Y in Australia, which will offer a lower-priced, single-motor RWD variant from Giga Shanghai, though the long-range variant's pricing remains unconfirmed. The video also details price increases for the Model 3 in Germany and the US, noting that the German price hike makes the car ineligible for government subsidies. Production challenges at Giga Shanghai due to lockdowns are discussed as a potential concern for Q2 deliveries. Notably, Tesla has been observed benchmarking the Lucid Air, a move the reviewer views positively as a driver for continuous improvement, despite Elon Musk's stance on excessive range. The upcoming Cyber Rodeo event at Giga Texas is previewed with sightings of Cybertruck prototypes and a potential Texas flag formation using Model Ys. Finally, the video touches on the NHTSA investigation into LG Energy Solutions' battery cells, noting that Tesla's use of cylindrical cells and different pack designs may have insulated them from these recalls, unlike GM's Chevy Bolt. The transition to Tesla Vision (camera-only) for Autopilot in European and Middle Eastern markets is also confirmed.
