EV Channels Review

This episode of Electrified covers a range of Tesla-related news and industry developments. A key point of discussion is the potential release of FSD 2.0 within two weeks, with the host expressing cautious optimism while acknowledging Elon Musk's history of optimistic timelines. The video also touches on a potential fix for Model 3 cabin smells related to drainage ports and a new brake service menu in the Model 3's software update. A significant portion is dedicated to Tesla's exclusion from the EU's anti-subsidy probe into Chinese EV imports, with the host explaining Tesla's legal team's argument that this exclusion could lead to higher tariffs. The potential for a "no-resell" clause for the Cybertruck, though seemingly removed from official terms, is also analyzed. Other topics include EG Group's plan to buy Superchargers from Tesla in the UK and Europe, VW's potential job cuts amid its EV transition, slowing EV demand in Europe, and Exxon's exploration of lithium extraction. The review highlights the fast-paced nature of EV news, with updates on Cybertruck production, Tesla's potential India visit, and various other automakers' EV strategies.
