Video Summary
Here's the requested summary of the YouTube video:Tesla is working on various projects, including a Tesla supercharger drive-in diner that will be located on Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood, California, and will operate 24/7. The Tesla supercharger drive-in diner will feature a retro futuristic design, screens on the outside, and uniquely designed booths, stools, bars, and ceilings. The kettleman city supercharger location had a Tesla coffee shop attached, along with a special code to enter the door, only accessible via a Tesla vehicle screen. The Ketlleman Tesla Supercharger site's fate is currently unknown due to the existence of larger charging sites across the street.
Tesla is piloting on-peak and off-peak pricing for charging, based on live supercharger utilization. This will adjust pricing depending on how busy the charger is at any given moment. The on/off peak pricing pilot is launching at ten locations in California. More affordable Tesla car options may become available. New sightings in drone footage suggest Tesla is planning to make a new dedicated affordable model, that isn't just a stripped-down Model Y or 3. The covered-up vehicle seen in Fremont factory parking has wheels that are from the older model Y, and that led to speculation that it is the new affordable model.
Cybertruck deliveries are readily available. Tesla is offering .99% APR on the all-wheel drive model Y as well as Tesla is offering a full self-driving transfer. Other new deals will provide discounts on paints and model options on available vehicles. Last quarter was tough for Tesla sales, which Tesla blames on its Model Y changeover. Rivian had their Q1 earnings report and secured another billion-dollar investment from VW for future operations. The company's second quarter will have a gross profit of over 200 million dollars, however, Rivian did not actually report a net profit during the Q1 report. The R2 Launch will be exciting but expensive and won't see profits for quite a while. Rivian will focus on hands-free high way assist by releasing autonomy day in the fall.
