the tesla model free happens to be one
[2]
of the most important vehicles for tesla
[4]
and tesla is secretly improving the
[6]
model free by adding more features that
[9]
might completely change the ownership
[10]
experience of the tesla model free
[13]
hello everyone welcome to tesla vives
[16]
in today's video we'll be looking at
[18]
some secret changes tesla made with the
[20]
model 3 don't believe us
[23]
well that is why you need to watch this
[24]
video till the end to find out all the
[26]
details because this one is surely going
[29]
to blow your mind let's begin
[32]
the global semiconductor shortage is
[34]
still going on which mainly affected the
[36]
automotive industry because the
[38]
purchasing power of the automotive
[40]
industry for the semiconductors is
[41]
relatively on the lower side and the
[44]
companies that supply these
[45]
semiconductors usually give priority to
[47]
consumer electronic devices like
[49]
smartphones tablets and laptops because
[52]
of which so many factories had to be
[53]
shut down temporarily even with all
[56]
these tesla is selling more vehicles
[59]
than ever before and that has to do with
[61]
the fact that the company figured out a
[63]
way to deal with the global
[64]
semiconductor shortage
[66]
but before we begin make sure to

historically tesla is a company that has
[77]
always struggled with manufacturing but
[79]
that was due to the fact that the
[80]
company is very new compared to every
[83]
other auto manufacturer out there and
[85]
mass producing electric cars and making
[87]
them an attractive buy over the gasoline
[89]
cars has always been a huge task for
[92]
tesla
[93]
there is no denying the fact that
[94]
tesla's 2021 quarter four deliveries
[97]
were impressive and the company was also
[99]
able to turn a record-breaking profit
[102]
especially during a time when the entire
[104]
industry is still suffering from the
[105]
global chip shortage but what if we told
[108]
you that the company might have made
[109]
certain compromises to deliver more
[111]
vehicles than ever before well according
[114]
to a few tesla employees tesla excluded
[117]
one of two electronic control units in
[119]
the steering racks of the shanghai built
[121]
model 3 and model y so that the company
[124]
will be able to deal with their global
[126]
chip shortage tesla did this for the
[129]
vehicles delivered in china australia
[131]
and europe
[132]
we are not sure whether tesla did the
[134]
same for their vehicles manufactured and
[136]
sold in the united states
[138]
maybe tesla did this because they have
[140]
no other option considering the ever
[142]
growing demand for electric vehicles
[145]
the electronic control unit in the
[147]
electric power assisted steering system
[149]
is responsible for translating the
[151]
steering wheel movements into wheel
[152]
turns on the street
[154]
before using so many electronic
[156]
components the auto manufacturers use to
[158]
rely on a pump steering rack and pinion
[161]
to translate the steering wheel
[163]
movements
[164]
however companies provide electronics
[166]
that signal the car to go to the right
[168]
or left
[169]
electric power assisted steering systems
[171]
of today are also the reason why we have
[174]
driver assistance features
[176]
maybe tesla thought that this was not as
[178]
important as the company initially
[179]
thought and removing the steering
[181]
control unit will also help tesla save a
[184]
lot of money
[185]
tesla employees stated that adding the
[187]
level 3 autonomous functionality where
[190]
the driver can use their tesla
[191]
hands-free without steering in normal
[193]
driving scenarios would need a dual
[195]
electronic control unit system requiring
[198]
a retrofit at the service center
[200]
but tesla employees also confirmed that
[202]
the exclusion of the electronic control
[204]
unit system would not cause any safety
[207]
issues because the remote part was just
[209]
a secondary electronic control unit
[211]
which was usually used as a backup
[214]
not everything is bad news though so
[216]
what did tesla improve
[218]
well most of these improvements are not
[220]
official yet and everything happens
[222]
inside the company
[224]
the chinese factory right now is
[226]
supplying the european market with a lot
[228]
of teslas but once the gigafactory in
[231]
berlin is fully operational that is
[233]
about to change
[235]
the global chip shortage resulted in
[236]
tesla trying to work with new amd
[239]
processors a modification that is not
[241]
backward compatible at an official
[243]
service level
[244]
most of these changes apply to both
[246]
fremont and shanghai built model free or
[249]
model y models and they will be phased
[251]
into new regions this transition is
[253]
supposed to be completed by the second
[255]
quarter of 2022
[257]
we are also looking at the replacement
[259]
of a 12 volt lead acid low voltage
[261]
battery with a lithium ion unit which is
[264]
relatively easier to replace and it's
[266]
also lighter the most important changes
[269]
made inside would be the addition of a
[271]
heater for the windscreen wipers from
[273]
the inside which makes defrosting really
[275]
easy in extreme cold weather conditions
[278]
like what you see in the northern united
[279]
states canada china and northern europe
[283]
tesla is a company that gives you a lot
[285]
of flexibility with its own mobile
[287]
application and the activation of these
[289]
windscreen wiper heaters can be done
[291]
with the help of a mobile app
[294]
now if you're a fan of tesla's audio
[296]
system well with the new update instead
[299]
of having 14 speakers and a subwoofer
[301]
you're looking at 13 speakers which
[303]
means you will be getting one less
[305]
speaker as the one on the dashboard
[307]
panel will be totally eliminated the
[310]
reason why tesla is doing this is
[312]
because they want to reduce the
[313]
complexity during the production phase
[315]
of the tesla model 3 but again you're
[318]
not going to miss out much because the
[319]
sound quality is not being affected at
[322]
all
[322]
surprisingly the new configuration is
[325]
supposed to have more flexibility when
[327]
it comes to improving the sound quality
[329]
inside the car and like every other
[331]
tesla out there the software will get
[333]
better with over-the-air updates
[336]
for tesla their best-selling vehicles
[338]
have always been the model 3 and
[340]
model-wide because of the pricing of
[341]
these vehicles
[343]
not everybody can afford the model s or
[345]
the model x which is why the model 3 and
[347]
model y make a lot of sense to a lot of
[350]
people and even elon musk himself stated
[352]
that the model y will be the most
[354]
selling tesla vehicle ever made because
[356]
of the ever-growing crossover suv trend
[359]
worldwide but that does not make the
[361]
model 3 a less capable vehicle because
[363]
both of these vehicles share a lot of
[365]
components and they are also based on
[368]
the same platform
[369]
today tesla's success with electric
[372]
vehicles is something that the legacy
[374]
auto manufacturers need to take notes
[376]
because even today we don't have a
[378]
proper tesla killer from any legacy auto
[381]
manufacturer which says a lot about the
[383]
kind of commitment and dedication that
[385]
tesla has got towards their goal of
[387]
accelerating the world's transition to
[389]
sustainable energy
[390]
the company is at least five years ahead
[392]
of the competition and even today tesla
[395]
happens to be a world leader in the
[397]
electric vehicle space and that will be
[399]
that way for the foreseeable future
[401]
because tesla has been successful in
[403]
establishing a huge supercharger network
[406]
which completely gets rid of the range
[408]
anxiety issues in people are now
[410]
considering electric vehicles as daily
[412]
drivers
[413]
tesla's ultimate move would be to give
[415]
us a more affordable tesla just like
[418]
musk explained during the battery day
[420]
event held way back in 2020
[423]
yes a 25 000 tesla or something much
[426]
lower will definitely change the game
[428]
for tesla because the model 3 right now
[431]
is something that you can buy if you are
[432]
willing to spend more than forty
[434]
thousand dollars which is a lot for many
[436]
people especially when it comes to
[438]
spending on a vehicle
[440]
the giga shanghai factory happens to be
[442]
tesla's most successful gigafactory yet
[445]
during the year 2021 the gita shanghai
[449]
factory managed to produce more cars
[451]
than ever before and right now the
[453]
manufacturing rate is at around 650 000
[457]
vehicles per year which means tesla will
[459]
be able to produce a car at the factory
[461]
every 44 seconds which is huge
[464]
let's hope that tesla will be able to
[466]
replicate their success with their newer
[468]
factories especially the one in berlin
[470]
and these factories will start producing
[472]
at full capacity soon the gigafactory
[475]
berlin will be catering to the european
[477]
market and you know that germany happens
[479]
to be the world's luxury vehicle hub it
[482]
takes a lot for tesla to compete in the
[484]
same country where the first internal
[486]
combustion engine was invented
[488]
and that's a wrap for today's video do
[491]
you think this is the right way for
[493]
tesla when it comes to dealing with the
[494]
global semiconductor shortage
