TESLA CUTS WAIT TIMES, INSURANCE COMPANY DOES DUMBEST TEST EVER

EV Channels Review

The video discusses Tesla's reduced delivery wait times for the Model Y in the US and China, attributing the decrease in China to increased production at Giga Shanghai and potential battery supply constraints for longer-range variants. In the US, the base Model Y wait times have also shortened, possibly influenced by the Inflation Reduction Act and customers positioning orders for tax credits. The reviewer notes that while shorter wait times can signal demand concerns, they can also reflect production increases from various Gigafactories. A significant portion of the video is dedicated to criticizing a "dumb" test by AXA Insurance, which staged an electric vehicle fire using pyrotechnics after removing the car's batteries, a detail omitted in their press release. The reviewer also touches upon Elon Musk's interview regarding FSD rollout and Master Plan Part 3, BMW's in-house fuel cell production for the iX5 Hydrogen, and SpaceX's new NASA contracts.
