Tesla Model Y (Page 13)

Tesla, the electric vehicle manufacturer, has made a significant impact on the automobile industry by surging into the top 10 best-selling cars in the world. This is a remarkable achievement for the company, which was founded just over two decades ago. Tesla has been able to produce electric vehicles that are not only environmentally friendly but also offer unparalleled performance and functionality.

The Tesla Model Y managed to position itself as the fourth best-selling car in the world in 2022, surpassing ICE legacy models as popular as the Toyota Camry or the Honda CR-V.

According to a new list of best-selling vehicles in the world for 2022, Model Y, less than 3 years since starting deliveries, has already become the best-selling vehicle in the world by revenue and 4th overall best-selling vehicle by units sold.

Last month we received reports suggesting Tesla has chosen Mexico as the site for the company's next Gigafactory and that the EV maker is only days away from making the announcement. However, today in a statement made to Nikkei Asia, Emmanuel Loo, the deputy secretary of economic development for Nuevo Leon confirmed that a deal hasn't been reached.

Consumer Reports, in its latest test of Active Driver Assist software by 12 manufacturers ranked Tesla number 7 writing “Tesla autopilot falls to midpack as other high-tech systems improve.” Consumer Reports adds saying "that’s because Tesla hasn’t changed Autopilot’s basic functionality much since it first came out."

Following the recent price cuts in Germany, which reduced the Model 3s starting price by 6000 euros and the Model Y's starting price by 9,100 euros, the company's best-selling vehicles now qualify for an EV incentive in the country. According to Tesla, now both the Model 3 & Y qualify for the full €6,750 EV Incentive.

We see a picture of hundreds of Model Y Giga castings just outside Giga Berlin. The Model Y production ramp is in full force.

We see that Tesla just raised prices on the Model Y. This is a good thing for Tesla to do right now - here's why.

Tesla has a new limited time offer for delivery by March 31st, shocking many people in Germany with 0.99% leasing interest rate for Model 3 and Model Y vehicles.

We see that Tesla is selling nearly 3x the volume of EVs than all other EV automakers combined in California, a big EV market. How fast is Tesla growing?

After Tesla's general price drop, demand for its electric vehicles has skyrocketed; this is directly affecting production at Giga Berlin, which currently assembles the Model Y, the most successful Tesla model in Europe. Wait times have already started to increase in recent days.

We see a chart of falling Model Y inventories for Tesla. This comes from recent price custs around the world.

I love the stories when children honor their parents in a very special way. Today Tesla surprised Maye Musk with an amazing gift. Maye Musk, the mother of Tesla CEO and founder Elon Musk, was taken for a spin around Berlin, Germany in a new Tesla Model Y in a stunning Midnight Cherry Red color.

Brandenburg Economic Ministery Joerg Steinbach has revealed that Tesla's plant in Germany has reached 9000 employees and that the EV maker continues to hire 200 to 300 new employees a week.

We see a picture of hundreds of Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles getting ready to ship to Thailand. Why this is important for Tesla.

Tesla's US Model Y inventories have been cut down by two-thirds and the total inventories (S3XY) have been reduced by 50% since last week's price cuts. This suggests that the first quarter volumes could be as high as 450,000, exceeding the estimates of 427,000 from analysts.

We can see that due to Tesla's recent price cuts, that its addressable market for its vehicles has tripled. We'll go over why.

We have information that the Tesla Model Y is a best selling vehicle in Europe - for two months in a row now.

We have a video that says range doesn't matter in an EV. Here's why.

New to the electric vehicle club? If you are about to install an electric vehicle charger, there are a few things you can do to avoid problems.

Ensuring that certain groups unfavorable to society don't get a break outweighs the environmental benefits of more people buying more electric vehicles.

Tesla has quietly started selling a cheaper Model Y with a 279-mile range and using the 4680 battery pack, but you won't find this variant of Tesla's electric SUV on the configurator yet. This is in addition to last Friday’s price cuts, which I have reported here.

FSD Beta v11 is expected to bring vector spaces and use of all 8 cameras to highway driving. And even though since early November Tesla has released FSD beta v11 to internal employees, we have yet to see the software in action in the real world. However, now Elon Musk says the software "should start rolling out later this week, next week at the latest."

The search for a solution that makes it possible to dampen the intermittencies of renewable energies is focused, as it is widely known, on alternative battery technologies. A Scottish company has now just developed an alternative that combines the potential of cheap and long-lasting flow batteries, with high energy and volumetric density; allegedly higher than Tesla 4680 cells.

Tesla recently did major price cuts on the Model Y - is now the time to buy one? Here's what we recommend.

Tesla Model Y inventory is continuing to rise as there is confusion with the IRA tax credit. What should Tesla do about this?

The demand for renewable energy basically skyrocketed last year, encouraged by constant increases in energy costs, and by events such as the war in Ukraine. Now, the main manufacturers of solar panels indicated that in 2023 we will experience a sharp drop in the cost of PV solar panels, thanks to the dramatic drop in the prices of materials such as silicon. This, in turn, will greatly favor Tesla Solar shingles and panels production.

Shoppers are starting to compare the tax incentives offered for various EVs and are dismayed to discover that they make little sense. The trouble could be confusion over the objectives of the newly-enacted EV tax incentives.

Given the increasingly common drivers' mistakes (in some cases, “voluntary” mistakes) when using Tesla's FSD package, the Austin company will take rather harsh measures against those who do not comply with the rules when driving its electric cars.

Tesla supplier, IDRA, has announced that it finished work on a 2nd 9000-ton Giga Press. IDRA, however, has confirmed that, unlike the first 9000-t Giga Press which was shipped to Giga Texas, this machine will not be used to build the Cybertruck as it's destined for Asia. IDRA's announcement suggests that the new machine will be used to build Giga China's upcoming compact car in a single piece.
