Tesla Releases The Cybertruck’s First Software Upgrade

February 9, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The world believed this was it when Tesla eventually debuted the much-anticipated and delayed futuristic Cybertruck. The Cybertruck was completed and prepared to upend our world, signaling the arrival of the future. Not quite so quickly, though.

As per Tesla’s custom, the Cybertruck departed the plant with unfulfilled expectations, disregarding all of the commitments it had made. Greetings from Beta Lifestyle.

To be honest, though, Cybertruck is an incredible electric car, whether you like it or not. There’s no other vehicle like it, for the simple reason that no other corporation would ever take the chance of even trying to imagine creating one, much less risking its future and releasing the product to the public.

This explains why it appears like Tesla has a devoted following of cult-like fans and a sizable client base. Now enough with the distraction; let’s get back to the Cybertruck.

Not all was as it seemed when the Cybertruck eventually left the factory and the first, although sluggish, deliveries began to arrive. After the much-discussed panel gap issues were resolved and the truck itself was built, the new owners soon discovered that the driving experience differed greatly from what they had learned from earlier Teslas. Furthermore, it was unrelated to the Cybertruck’s size.

To put it mildly, the truck arrived with very little software. It was equipped with all the standard features you would expect from a modern automobile, but not the ones you had hoped for when you paid more than €90,000.

In addition to new interface visuals, the Cybertruck still lacks specialized software. More significantly, Autopilot is deficient in certain areas, and FSD is completely unavailable.

Fortunately, Tesla is aware of the problems and is attempting to resolve them. The first significant software upgrade for all previously sold Cybetruck machines was just delivered by the firm. Getting an update consists of two key parts: driving dynamics and charging dynamics.

The Cybertruck will adapt the charger’s charging output based on the battery condition when it is plugged into a supercharger. When a battery is located using navigation, battery preconditioning begins automatically. This should safeguard the battery and improve the efficiency of the charging process.

Additionally, the driving dynamics were changed. With the Sport Mode in particular, Tesla promises a more consistent reaction on varied terrain and a more pleasant ride on bumpy and twisting roads. It implies that the first owner’s background must not have been very stellar.

The business included a number of minor changes outside of those two areas, but they seem to have been a part of an earlier Tesla Holiday Update, which the Cybertruck is only now receiving.

Without a question, the Cybertruck was and still is the most challenging vehicle to design and produce. After so many delays, Tesla decided to release it even though the software was not yet complete. Is software development, however, ever-ending? No, it never comes to an end.

Customer input cannot be replaced by testing, and it is essential for the business to be able to fix any problems with an OTA update.

Tesla has demonstrated that software is king; the Model S has been in production for 12 years and is still regarded as a standard. Take our word for it, but Ferrari has been observed comparing the Model S Plaid to its next supercar in private sessions.

Although the Model S has seen a few mechanical updates over the years, its unique characteristics are mostly due to its software. Furthermore, Cybertruck’s classic sci-fi body will only become better with time. Has Tesla figured out how to own a single vehicle for life?

The Largest Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Facility In The World Will Be The New Tesla Factory In Mexico

March 20, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Arrival Of Tesla In México

A new factory will be constructed in Santa Catarina, in the Mexican state of Nuevo León’s northern region, according to Tesla creator Elon Musk.

Investment Of $5 billion

**Mexican President, Andrés Manuel López Obrador**

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico and state governor Samuel Garca hailed the news and reaffirmed that water usage, a contentious aspect of the project, won’t be a problem thanks to a $5 billion investment.

One Of The World’s Biggest Factories

The Tesla facility in Mexico will be the biggest electric car manufacturing in the world, according to Martha Delgado, Undersecretary for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (pictured with Musk).

Greater Than Twice As Large As Mexico City’s International Airport

According to Santa Catarina’s mayor, Jesus Nava, the property is nearly 4,200 acres in area, more than double the size of Mexico City’s international airport, and Tesla is buying it from private landowners.

An Ideal Location

The technology tycoon stated that the site of his new plant will provide a strategic link because it borders the United States and is three hours away from Texas, where another Tesla plant is situated, in an effort to grow its operations.

Tesla Production Outside Of The US

Manufacture Tesla outside the US — **Tesla Production Outside Of The US**

The Mexican factory will be a part of the brand’s growth, so it will be a complement to the rest of its factories, which are situated in the United States, China, and Europe, according to comments made by Musk himself.

Newest Models Of Vehicles (And Cheaper)

It was announced during Investor Day 2023 that the new Tesla plant will be in charge of manufacturing Tesla’s upcoming models. One of them is the purportedly innovative ‘economic’ strategy to contend for a more competitive market.

“Welcome Tesla”

“The world’s wealthiest man chose Nuevo León, Mexico, for both his new gigafactory and his cutting-edge car. The outlook is positive “the Nuevo León mayor tweeted.

Tesla Mexican Plant Controversies

The first debates over the factory emerged at the same time as the first reports, as it was the Mexican president who suggested that the plant be located in another state due to Nuevo León’s shortage of water.

Will Elon Find A Solution To The Issue?

Musk did, however, reportedly make several recommendations to the Mexican administration to address the water issue. The Mexican president then formally revealed the factory’s building after 14 months of talks.

Addressing The Issue Of Water Shortage

Obrador stated, “The plant will be built in Nuevo León, with a number of promises to address the issue of water shortage.

A Strategy To Protect The Water

Although specifics regarding these tactics were withheld, local media reported that a water preservation plan sticks out among the conditions agreed upon for the building of said plant.

Another Potential Undertaking

However, given the significant lithium deposits the nation possesses and that Obrador pledged to nationalize in order to prevent outsiders from exploitation, the potential of marketing lithium as a raw material for the production of batteries for said electric vehicles was also brought up.

Mexico’s Natural Resources

During his recent visit to the state of Sonora, Obrador declared that lithium “belongs to the country” and that he would nationalise such natural resources “so that they cannot be utilised by outsiders, neither by Russia, nor by China, nor by the United States”.

Reached A Consensus

Obrador said, “Lithium belongs to the Mexicans, but if the raw material is purchased, if the battery plants are placed in Sonora, if you offer Sonorans employment, to the Mexicans, an agreement is made” during his morning program following the confirmation of the new Tesla factory.

The Process Of Making Batteries

The production of batteries for electric vehicles is currently being implemented, but how exactly is unclear. It is an expenditure that will likely be made in the future as natural resources are traded for capital and technology.

Leading Producer Of Automobiles Is Mexico

According to José Zozaya, head of the Mexican Association of the Automotive Industry, “Mexico confirms its leading position in the production and sale of cars to the globe” with the entry of Tesla.

6,000–10,000 Additional Jobs

As of right now, neither Tesla nor Elon Musk have provided numbers indicating how many employment the largest electric vehicle factory will create. Government officials promised, however, that it is anticipated that 6,000 to 10,000 employment will be created.

Possibilities For Santa Catarina

An economic effect that would originally and specifically impact Santa Catarina, which as of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography’s 2020 census has a population of over 300,000, (INEGI).

Ford, General Motors, BMW

In addition to Tesla, other industry juggernauts like BMW, General Motors, or Ford have opened eight plants in Mexico to manufacture electric cars.

Prior To Colombia And Brazil

El Pas reports that Mexico has surpassed Brazil and Colombia as the region’s champion in the marketing of electric vehicles, with the United States serving as its primary export market.

Tesla’s India Entrance Strategy Would Be Put On Hold

May 16, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

According to three people familiar with the issue, Tesla has put plans to sell electric cars in India on hold, abandoned a search for showroom space, and moved members of its domestic staff after failing to negotiate reduced import taxes.

Tesla planned to gauge demand by offering lower taxes on electric cars (EVs) imported from production hubs in the United States and China, which resulted in a year of deadlock negotiations with government officials.

The Indian government, on the other hand, is urging Tesla to commit to local manufacturing before lowering import levies, which can be as high as 100%.

According to people familiar with Tesla’s plan, the business set a deadline of February 1 to see if their lobbying paid off, the day India announces its budget and reveals tax revisions.

According to the persons who asked anonymity because the conversations were private, Tesla put its plans to import cars into India on hold when Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government refused to compromise.

According to two sources, Tesla had been exploring for real estate options in New Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru for months, but that plan has also been put on hold.

Tesla did not reply to an email request for comment. The Indian government did not respond to a request for comment right away. Tesla’s modest team in India has been handed additional responsibilities for other markets.

According to his LinkedIn page, Manuj Khurana, the company’s India policy head, has been working in a new “product” function in San Francisco since March.

In January, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed the business was still “working through a lot of challenges with the government” in terms of sales in India. Increased demand for Tesla automobiles in other countries, as well as a dispute over import levies, prompted the adjustment in strategy. Modi has attempted to woo businesses with a “Make in India” campaign, but his transport minister, Nitin Gadkari, claimed in April that Tesla importing vehicles from China would be a “bad suggestion.”

New Delhi, on the other hand, won a triumph in January when Mercedes-Benz announced that it will begin manufacturing one of its electric cars in India.

Tesla had intended to gain a competitive advantage in India’s small but growing electric car industry, which is now dominated by Tata Motors.

Tesla’s starting price of $40,000 (about Rs. 31 lakh) would put it in the premium segment of the Indian market, where sales account just a small proportion of the country’s almost 3 million annual automobile sales.

In the fourth quarter of last year, Tesla delivered 308,600 vehicles.

People rent cars at a Hertz car rental counter in the Miami International Airport on October 25, 2021 in Miami, Florida. Hertz announced that it ordered 100,000 Teslas as the company is emerging from bankruptcy.

The company has managed to tackle the global problem of scarcity of resources facing the auto industry.
Elon Musk, head of Tesla, said he had partially solved the semiconductor shortage by modifying the newly designed chip and software.

However, Tesla was once again profitable in October when it received an order for 100,000 electric vehicles from Hertz, a car rental company, to be completed by 2022.
With this announcement, Tesla has entered the list of the few companies worth more than one trillion dollars in the stock market.

The Kia EV6 Smashes the Tesla Model S to set a New Guinness World Record

December 21, 2021 / By Zunair Tahir / News Pakistan

The Kia EV6 beat the previous world record of more than five hours established by the Tesla Model S for the fastest charging time to cross the United States in an electric vehicle.

The Guinness Book of World Records has accepted Kia’s all-new 2022 EV6 electric automobile. The EV6 set a new record for the fastest charging time to traverse the United States, completing a distance of 4,635 kilometres between New York and Los Angeles on the east coast and Los Angeles on the west coast.

The 2022 Kia EV6 crossover completed the race in seven days. During the whole voyage, the electric car was plugged in for only 7 hours, 10 minutes, and 1 second, the least time any electric car has ever used to cover the full length of the country, crossing the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

The Kia EV6 beat the previous world record of more than five hours established by the Tesla Model S for the quickest charging time to cross the United States in an electric vehicle. The previous high-water mark was set six years ago. The Tesla Model S electric vehicle took 12 hours, 48 minutes, and 19 seconds to charge for its journey.

Early next year, the 2022 Kia EV6 electric crossover will join showrooms. It is the first model to be released as part of Hyundai’s Plan S goal to electrify its entire fleet. It’s also Kia’s first entirely electric car built on its Electric-Global Modular Platform in the world (E-GMP).

The electric SUV can be charged at 400 volts or 800 volts and has a range of up to 510 kilometres on a single charge. If connected to a fast charger, the EV6 can add 112 kilometres of range in five minutes and more than 330 kilometres in around 18 minutes, according to Kia.
