TESLA'S BAD NEWS FOR 2024

EV Channels Review

This video discusses several significant updates and potential challenges for Tesla in 2024. Key points include the introduction of new plaid seats for the Model S, which may foreshadow similar upgrades for performance variants of other models, though the lack of a refresh for the Model X is noted as peculiar. A notable addition to the lineup is the Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, offering an estimated 600 km (approx. 340 miles) of range, positioning it as the new range king for the Model Y. However, the rollout of this variant is described as geographically limited and somewhat confusing. The video also highlights Tesla's volatile pricing strategy, with a warning that prices are expected to continue rising, advising potential buyers to purchase sooner rather than later. A significant price reduction in the Full Self-Driving (FSD) subscription, from $199 to $99 per month, is presented as a positive development for consumers, though frustration persists among those who purchased the permanent package. The future of the rumored $25,000 "Model 2" is cast into doubt, with reports suggesting Tesla is prioritizing the autonomous robotaxi platform, slated for an August 8th unveiling. Finally, Cybertruck deliveries have been temporarily halted due to an issue with the accelerator pedal cover, and a "Project Juniper" refresh for the Model Y is confirmed to be delayed until late 2024 or early 2025, with Tesla actively discouraging showroom employees from mentioning it to push current inventory.
