Tesla Cybertruck prices and specs will change

Elon just confirmed it, in case people still had their doubts. Between raises in prices all across the board, a product that was announced almost 3 years ago, and many iterations, this seemed pretty clear to most people.

Great news for our Australian friends, the first Model Y has now been delivered in Australia. Model Y is selling like hotcakes in every country that is getting delivered, and we have no doubts that our Aussie friends will really like it!

2022 Tesla annual stockholder meeting notes by DBurkland

Our friend Dan did a great job capturing the most important pieces of the presentation at the shareholder’s event, and although some are stock/production related, other bits are pretty interesting:

  • Tesla has produced more energy than it consumes, this includes vehicle charging.
  • Supercharging V4 is set to be deployed next year.
  • FSD beta tracking to be well over 100M miles by end of 2022.

Tesla is continuously iterating on all fronts, but one of the most important ones for the company is safety. This week, Tesla China introduced a new airbag for extra safety in their Model Y, and as with other changes before, we can assume we will see something similar in cars from the other factories.

πŸ€“ What the acronym?

As Tesla fan I find myself sometimes having to remember what are all those acronyms, here is a list of the ones you can find in this issue.

  • PPF - Paint Protection Film
  • FSD - Full Self-Driving
