And what do you think long-term the likelihood is that GM and others will follow suit and that effectively the Tesla Superchargers will become the standard? I think there's a chance. The CCS is a great standard but it was pretty much done by kind of a committee and I think GM and others are going to have a big choice to make. Do they want to have fast charging for a lot of customers or do they want to stick to their standard and have less charging? So I don't know but I think you know we're number two last year they were number one. I think there's going to be a tough choice for those companies.
Welcome to Electrified. It's your host Dylan Lumis. Real quick to everyone who was remembering a loved one yesterday and every day. I'm sure you've heard about the Tesla and Ford partnership all weekend but I just wanted to share a few quick thoughts. One, let's not forget every time a Ford customer in the future will pull up to a Tesla Supercharger. They're probably going to wonder well if Ford is using Tesla's charging standard what else might Tesla be doing better than Ford? Second, based on that Twitter space conversation it sounds like Tesla and Ford will partner together on other things in the future maybe some software related things. So does this make Ford more likely to potentially license FSD in the future? I think it's definitely a possibility. Third, in terms of the actual benefit to Tesla of course there are the obvious ones like Tesla maybe charging a little higher of a rate but whatever the benefits to Tesla really are given that they're still negotiating with other OEMs, Tesla will absolutely need to keep this aspect private. And fourth, let's not forget about the billions of dollars in charging incentives up for grabs. Previously some of that funding was limited to companies installing chargers with a CCS port but if Tesla's Nax connector actually becomes the standard maybe that wording is changed and Tesla could actually receive some of those subsidies for installing their own Nax connector not having to add the CCS adapters like they do right now.
And no worries I'm sure we'll touch on this topic many times in the weeks ahead but for now this is a huge step in Tesla solidifying their place as the leader in the EV transition. In case you've missed it Canada has been in the midst of a major push for much wider EV charging and they're building a coast to coast network of charging stations. As part of this effort Tesla will open a portion of its existing supercharger network to non Tesla EVs and by the end of 2025 750 charging connectors in public locations will be made available to non Tesla drivers 350 of which will be 250 kilowatt superchargers version 3. Here's a website I'd bet a few of you will want to bookmark it's the new Tesla gallery they just uploaded a bunch of new high definition images for all of their different products so this of course will be linked below. I'll include a few of these images throughout the rest of this video.
We talk a lot about how Tesla does the little things to build its brand into encourage employee retention well here's another example of that as over the weekend they celebrated with 10,000 plus employees and their families at gigabre lens family day. You may have seen a few videos of this but over the weekend Tesla's FSD beta 11.4.2 has rolled out two customer vehicles and to that news Elon said this is the right release to go wide. Those of us that follow Tesla closely most likely know Tesla's deep rain neural net for the auto wiper function has been subpar at best well over the weekend Elon said sorry this is one of the last neural nets to be updated to surround video from single camera single frame on prior versions of autopilot you would not have the option to cancel the auto wiper feature well in 11.4.2 it looks like there's auto wiper version for with the ability to disable that deep rain it looks like there will be improvements for automatic emergency braking for cut in traffic some other stuff and one big one FSD beta suspension interval was reduced from two weeks down to one so once you accumulate enough strikes on FSD beta to be suspended now you only have to wait one week instead of two.
We got Tesla's weekly insured data for the week and it came in at 12,800 plugging that data into the table if you wanted to compare it to the same week in quarter one that number was 10,705 thus in quarter one from week one to week eight the total was 57,840 and in quarter two from week one to week eight that number is now 79,863 so domestically in China quarter two is well ahead of where we were at this point in quarter one

gf4 tesla on twitter shared some new images of the progress being made of the train station at gigaburlin the last time we heard about this it was said that this train station will accommodate around 16,000 people per day mostly tesla employees there was also reporting that this train station would allow for Tesla vehicle freight so tesla could ship its vehicles throughout the country cutting down on emissions from trucking
according to not a tesla app we're already getting some hints about the next software version 2023.20 which is currently in testing at least one update coming from that version vehicle owners should be able to track how many miles have been driven since their last tire service and the feature for text size adjustment has now been extended to all languages supported by tesla
writers is saying elon is in china for his visit right now this would be his first visit in three years so far elon has met the chinese foreign minister chin gang and chin sold elon china was committed to improving the business environment for investors including tesla and he used a somewhat confusing metaphor saying we must step on the break in time avoid dangerous driving and be skillful at using the accelerator to promote mutually beneficial cooperation the foreign ministry quoted elon as saying he was willing to expand business in china and is opposed to a decoupling of the us in china economies no surprise but senior chinese officials are saying elon also plans to visit gigashang high
a source has also said that elon has plans to meet with a chairman of catl zang yu kuan and the ambassador was also talking about chinese style modernization common prosperity and creating unprecedented growth potential and market demand he added china's ev market has broad prospects for development and china will continue to open up and create a better market oriented and law based business environment for foreign firms like tesla and while none of the reporting is really saying what these conversations will be about here are my guesses one the actual approval of fsd in china to the expansion of gigashang high one so call it gigashang high two or just an expansion of the existing gigafactory there we learned from wu wu it was essentially a land negotiation that was holding up tesla's expansion so maybe they can iron that out and third with catl i'd imagine they talk about a lot of long term battery production but in the short term maybe they're actually talking about catls m3p battery technology which we've heard a lot about in rumours linked to tesla and i'd bet part of the conversations will be about how tesla is now exporting cars from shanghai to north america proving that elon and tesla are not looking to play geopolitical games they just want to do business
Most importantly, reading between the lines right now all signs point to both Elon and the Chinese government working together positively to continually expand Tesla's operations in China. Given it being the world's leading EV market with plenty of the battery and chip technology and Elon saying that the US and Chinese economies are basically can join twins, this is what we need to hear. And I must say, Elon's looking pretty dapper.
Just in case you somehow missed it, in quarter one of this year, the Model Y was the best-selling car globally, period. Not just EV, of any car, given its price point relative to these other vehicles. Absolutely incredible.
Tesla is set to open a tie flagship store as soon as June at a mall in eastern Bangkok. What's cool about this is Tesla will be renovating the site of a former Toyota Motor showroom, and this five-floor facility will include a service center, a parts warehouse, and, of course, charging. This is important because Tesla sees Thailand as a test track for accelerating its expansion in Southeastern Asia.
We won't dive into this because it's only for folks who reside in Colorado, but with the signing of this house bill, all Colorado residents who purchase or lease any EV under eighty thousand dollars can now get a tax credit of up to five thousand dollars, higher than it was before. This, in addition to the federal tax credit. When it comes to tax credit versus rebate and who's eligible and all of that, I'll put the bill below.
Another heads up for Canadians, Tesla is now discounting Model 3 inventory in Canada anywhere from fifteen hundred to two thousand three hundred dollars. And yes, this will just add to the speculation that trial production of the Model 3 Refresh project Thailand may be set to kick off in Shanghai in the coming weeks. This isn't really a surprise as Cybertruck production is around the corner, but if you go to Tesla's job postings and search for Cybertruck and scroll down, you will see plenty of jobs needing filled. Definitely exciting times.
How about this job posting for Gigabrelin gamification specialist? Design, develop, and implement gamification strategies that improve engagement, learning outcomes, productivity, and collaboration in the workplace. This person will develop game mechanics, challenges, rewards, and leader boards that engage employees and motivate them to perform at their best. As a highly competitive person like myself, I think this is awesome.
We have NITSA closing at least one investigation, this one for the passenger play gaming situation. You may remember when NITSA opened this investigation, Tesla basically immediately agreed to stop allowing video games to be played on vehicle screens while the cars are in motion. So NITSA concluded by saying they're not seeking a recall, but they did say this investigation produced significant concerns about driver distraction during the time this feature was available because NITSA said apparent driver use of passenger play while not in park and approximately a third of the trips in which the feature was in use demonstrates the importance of affirmative technology-based lockouts instead of administrative controls like labeling or disclaimer screens insinuating that those disclaimer popups are essentially worthless. NITSA also said it's not indicating a finding by NITSA that no safety-related defect exists. It also does not foreclose the agency from taking further action if warranted, but at least for now, case closed.
Just a heads up, the bidding for those three untouched Tesla rosters found in China has been extended until June 2nd, and the word on the street is there are now bids over one million dollars for all three.
Did you guys happen to see this? The official EPA numbers for the Lordstown Endurance pickup truck, which, by the way, has a 109-kilowatt hour battery pack and gets 174 miles of range. And sure, range and efficiency aren't everything when it comes to a pickup, but not great numbers. And there's a reason I haven't really spent time covering this company.
We haven't touched on anything technical when it comes to Tesla stock lately because I know a lot of you think it's astrology for stock traders, and that's fair enough. I just wanted to point out if Tesla closes above around $200 per share today, it may close above the 200-day moving average for the first time since really September of last year. And if you go ahead and throw on a volume profile, you can see this red line, which is the point of control, is right around $195. What that's telling us is over the last one year, the timeframe that we're looking at for Tesla stock, most of the trading took place right in this range right here. Yes, I'm a long-term investor, but I like staying dangerous in this short-term stuff. For me, it's just fun and kind of like a game, and I like to pick my entry spots. Point being it may be an interesting couple of weeks.
