Model Y Gets Free Upgrade | Tesla Time News 633

This video delivers a comprehensive roundup of Tesla, SpaceX, and X news, headlined by a massive Google deal worth over $30 billion for Nvidia GPUs and the planned SpaceX NASDAQ IPO under the ticker SPCX. Other major stories include Tesla's filing for a Nevada ride-hailing permit for 5,000 vehicles, another delay for the Roadster unveiling, and new incentives like free supercharging to boost Model 3 sales. The hosts highlight Starlink V3's 100-fold bandwidth increase and Musk's polarizing claims of election fraud. A key recurring theme is media bias, with the sponsor segment demonstrating how left- and right-leaning outlets frame the same SpaceX IPO story differently, underscoring the need to consult multiple sources for a complete picture. The video closes with Musk's practical advice on self-taught learning and rapid iteration.

• ▶ 0:23 Tesla filed for a Nevada Autonomous Vehicle Network permit covering the Las Vegas area, including Harry Reid International and Henderson Executive airports, for 5,000 vehicles.
• ▶ 0:47 The next-gen Tesla Roadster unveiling is reportedly delayed again, possibly to August or later, due to ongoing work on cold air thrusters, with Giga Texas as the expected venue.
• ▶ 2:28 X averages about 130 million unique visitors from June 2025 to March 2026, while Bluesky and Threads remain in single digits—a stark drop-off clearly visible when the chart goes to zero.
• ▶ 3:15 SpaceX is reportedly planning a NASDAQ IPO under the ticker SPCX, touted as the largest IPO in U.S. history.
• ▶ 3:23 Media coverage of the IPO is lopsided: left-leaning outlets focus on Musk's control (super voting powers), while right-leaning outlets focus on timing and money raised—with fewer than 9 of 55+ articles from right-leaning sources, so single-source news can miss key angles.
• ▶ 3:50 The sponsor segment promotes Ground News, a platform that organizes articles by story and provides visual breakdowns of reporting bias, reliability, and ownership—with a 40% discount at ground.news/nyk and a "blind spot feed" for stories ignored by either side.
• ▶ 4:40 Tesla offers 1 year of free supercharging on all Model 3 trims if purchased by June 15th, saving roughly $1,720/year versus gas.
• ▶ 5:21 Additional incentives include 2,000 free supercharging miles for trading in a gas car and 3 months of free Full Self-Driving with a referral code.
• ▶ 6:16 Model Y prices vary by state, with rebates cutting costs significantly (e.g., up to $9,000 in Colorado, $7,500–$14,000 in California).
• ▶ 6:50 X Community Notes combines Grok and humans to fact-check posts, but corrections can take hours or up to a day.
• ▶ 7:08 Elon Musk's proposed fix: Users who interact with a later-corrected post will get an X chat message with the Community Note, though it's unclear what counts as "interaction."
• ▶ 7:34 Tesla's Pet Mode on watch lets you check on pets from your phone or smartwatch, a feature the hosts call unique among car brands.
• ▶ 8:00 Tesla is expanding into a fifth Indian state with a new experience center in Hyderabad, but its market share remains tiny—only 35 registrations in May (0.13% of India's EV market) against established players like Tata, Mahindra, and Hyundai.
• ▶ 8:41 The hosts promo their VEVOR battery-powered pipe crimper review, with Jesse explaining the traditional solder "sweat method" is messy, dangerous, and requires removing all water from pipes.
• ▶ 9:22 The VEVOR tool is compelling because it costs far less than professional electric crimpers (typically at least $3,000), making it either "a piece of crap or a game changer"—with the verdict teased on the NLR channel.
• ▶ 9:34 SpaceX amended its SEC S1 filing, revealing a major Google deal: Google will pay ~$920M/month for Nvidia GPUs and compute capacity through June 2029, totaling over $30B and adding ~$26B/year in revenue.
• ▶ 10:08 Elon Musk says orbital AI data centers will be “easier than Starlink satellites,” needing only solar power, radiators, and laser links, with cloud-penetrating Starlink frequencies making ground connections weather-proof.
• ▶ 11:04 After Jamie Dimon called Elon “the Edison of our time,” Elon argued Edison was brilliant but said DC is the right choice today—predicting “many years from now, there will not be much AC left.”
• ▶ 12:28 The hosts introduce the Patreon bonus segment, highlighting extra stories and a chance to win prizes like a Tesla bike rack, then thank patrons and give shout-outs.
• ▶ 12:59 Starlink V3 satellites offer over 10 times the bandwidth of V2, and with 10 times more satellites launching, total bandwidth increases by over 100 times.
• ▶ 13:06 V3 satellites drop to a 350 km orbit (from 550 km), cutting minimum latency in half due to the shorter distance light must travel.
• ▶ 13:18 Elon and Jack allege election fraud, citing late-counted California votes and saying they're "not even trying hard to hide the fraud anymore."
• ▶ 13:44 Elon praises George Orwell but notes Orwell initially supported communism until seeing it firsthand in the Spanish Civil War.
• ▶ 14:26 Elon explains he became SpaceX CTO because "there was no other choice," advising self-taught learning: "Read books, talk to people and iterate rapidly with hardware and software."
