The latest Tesla news roundup covers several significant updates and announcements. A major software update, version 2023.12, is rolling out with user-friendly enhancements like adjustable font sizes, points of interest reviews on maps, and crucially, customizable left scroll wheel functions for common tasks. Undocumented features include improved song scrubbing, map behavior, and wiper controls. The Tesla mobile app also gains a full trip planner. Controversially, there are allegations of Tesla reselling used mobile chargers as new, with advice to return suspect items or purchase locally. In product news, a lower-cost, rear-wheel-drive Standard Range Model Y, imported from China, is launching in Canada, distinct from the US version. This Canadian model offers significant cost savings but has less range and power than the dual-motor variant. The video speculates this RWD model won't come to the US due to federal incentive requirements favoring US-made components. Price adjustments are noted for Model S and Model X, with a $2,500 increase and the Yoke steering wheel now costing an extra $250. However, new Model S and X buyers receive three years of free unlimited Supercharging. A bug has also granted some existing owners free Supercharging, though this is not an official offering. Window venting functionality has mysteriously returned to the Tesla app for US owners. Finally, the Cybertruck delivery event is tentatively slated for Q3, with the Model 3 'Project Highland' refresh also expected around the same time.
