PODCAST: TESLA AI DAY PREVIEW, TSLA Q3 DELIVERIES, TESLA CYBERTRUCK, AND MORE

EV Channels Review

This podcast episode delves into Tesla's AI Day 2022, offering a preview and discussion of expectations surrounding the event. The hosts express skepticism about Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities, questioning its value proposition against competitors and the high price point. They highlight the potential for FSD to be a recruiting event for AI talent, but also a crucial update for existing owners. The discussion touches on the challenges of developing truly autonomous systems and the credibility Tesla risks losing. The episode also covers Tesla's Q3 delivery numbers, predicting a new record, and the increasing importance of fleet sales and Tesla's growing used car business. A significant portion is dedicated to the Cybertruck, specifically Elon Musk's tweet about its amphibious capabilities, which is met with both intrigue and doubt given Tesla's past issues with waterproofing. Finally, the podcast briefly touches on Tesla Megapacks in Hawaii, Supercharger price hikes in California, Nissan Ariya's delayed US launch, and Tata's affordable EV.
