Tesla adjusts the price of FSD in the United States: it rose to $12,000
On January 8, Tesla CEO Musk announced on Twitter that the price of Tesla's Full AutoPilot Kit (FSD) in the United States will rise from $10,000 to $12,000 from January 17.
Musk also revealed that FSD V10.9 may be launched within a week, while FSD V11 may be launched next month.
In interactions with fans, Musk made it clear that "when the FSD is widely released, the monthly subscription price will rise," but did not mention the specific increase.
Previously, Tesla did not disclose in the earnings report how many consumers paid or subscribed to FSD in advance, so it is unclear how much profit increase this price increase in the US market will bring Tesla.
Editor's comments: Tesla has doubled the price increase, I don't know how many car owners are willing to pay for it. But it is said that the new version of FSD even has a level 4 level, which makes people expect more road test performance.
Domestic Tesla was blown down with knee airbags
Recently, some users uploaded a short video on Douyin saying that his domestic Tesla Model 3 model seems to be missing a knee airbag device.
The user removed the interior panel under the passenger seat and found it "empty".
He was not dead hearted, changed to the main driver's seat, broke the interior board, and found that his heart was a little cold.
According to the Tesla crash test video and other information he obtained, the overseas version of Tesla is equipped with knee airbags. The owner joked that his Model 3 "may not be an authentic product produced by Shanghai's super 'leek factory'", "the knee airbag is left and right, and the interior noise is not less." After dismantling it, I suddenly felt that my knees were so hard."
Subsequently, the owner called tesla 400 customer service, customer service said: "Knee airbags do not affect the safety of the whole vehicle, in the time of car accident, the knee airbags on the safety of the vehicle is not high, the entire domestic series of Teslas do not have."
Editor's comments: The role of knee airbags is not high, but the export model is standard? I hope that Tesla's localization will not start with "double standards".
Cyrus responds to the SF5 shutdown storm
On December 23, 2021, Huawei unveiled the AITO (Chinese "Opto") brand and its first model, the Q&AO M5, at the winter flagship new product launch.
However, the SF5, the first model that Kinconcellis has partnered with Huawei, seems to have encountered some problems.
SF5 was rumored to have been discontinued by Cyrus. Some car owners reacted, "Cyrus test drive, exhibition car, LOGO have been changed, although the sales did not say that the production was discontinued, but what is the difference between this and the actual suspension of production?"
In response to rumors and questions, Xilis responded that due to the need for the listing of AITO M5, the company temporarily closed the booking channel of Xilis SF5, "SF5 has not stopped production, and plans to restart booking around the Spring Festival."
Editor's comments: The owner of SF5 is undoubtedly willing to take real money and silver to support Huawei's iron powder, I don't know if this wave of official response can give these iron powder a reassuring pill.
