TESLA SHIPS NEXT-GEN PARK ASSIST, BEGINS NEW FSD ROLLOUT, UPDATES SAFETY SCORE + FORD T3

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive update on Tesla's recent developments, focusing on the rollout of its new camera-based park assist feature, which replaces ultrasonic sensors. The reviewer highlights both the promising aspects, such as improved visualization and object memory, and the initial challenges, noting instances where the system's distance estimation appears inaccurate. The FSD Beta v11.3.3 rollout to employees and the significant update to the Safety Score (v2.0) with new criteria like excessive speeding and unbuckled driving are also detailed. Additionally, the report touches on UBS's EV survey, which shows a slight year-over-year decrease in consumer likelihood to buy an EV but maintains Tesla's lead in brand preference, and Ford's announcement of its next-generation 'Project T3' truck. Finally, CATL's chairman expresses difficulties in developing competitive solid-state batteries, suggesting this technology is still some way off.
