TESLA JUST ANNOUNCED MAJOR BATTERY MILESTONE PLUS NEW VEHICLE OPTIONS AND BUSINESS SALE

EV Channels Review

This episode of Tesla Daily provides a comprehensive update on the company's recent developments. A significant highlight is the announcement of Tesla reaching its 20 millionth 4680 battery cell production milestone at Gigafactory Texas, indicating a strong ramp-up that appears sufficient to support the initial Cybertruck production. The introduction of Tesla's own vehicle wraps, specifically a self-healing paint protection film (PPF) available in various colors for Model 3 and Model Y, is discussed as a potential precursor to Cybertruck customization options, though its high cost and limited availability are noted. The report also touches upon a survey revealing low consumer awareness regarding EV benefits like tax credits and price reductions, suggesting a significant educational gap. Updates on China sales, the expansion of V4 Superchargers into Asia, and Tesla's strategic 'aqua-hire' of engineers from a recently sold business unit are also covered. Finally, the UAW's escalation of its strike to Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant is presented as a major development in labor negotiations.
