NEW Tesla Model Spotted In San Jose | They're Not Hiding It

Key Points

▶ 0:22 A camouflaged Model Y L was spotted testing in San Jose on production 19-inch wheels, signaling the design is finalized and Tesla is scaling up for a US launch.
▶ 1:47 Based on Tesla's Model 3 Highland rollout, the host predicts US orders for the Model Y L could open in late summer to fall, with first deliveries around year-end or early next year.
▶ 3:15 Demand for the Model Y L is strong because it adds a real third row to an already top-selling platform, and the host personally found the third row comfortable for longer trips.
▶ 4:12 Outskill is a free AI education platform focused on practical application, reaching over 10 million people across 100+ countries.
▶ 4:25 The highlight is a 2-day live AI mastermind (16 hours) taught by 100+ practitioners from companies like Nvidia and Microsoft, where participants build AI agents and automations.
▶ 4:59 The first 1,000 people get in completely free, with bonuses valued at over $5,000, including an AI prompt bible and toolkit builder.
▶ 5:05 Cyber Cabs were spotted in New Zealand for mid-winter cold-weather testing, a critical challenge because the driverless system must handle snow, ice, regen braking, and camera glare/slush entirely on its own.
▶ 6:29 Production at Giga Texas is ramping up, with a record 120 Cyber Cabs staged in a single day; a Texas DOT director confirmed the production cab has no steering wheel, accelerator, or brake pedal.
▶ 7:01 The key milestone still missing: a Cyber Cab picking up a paying rider with nobody in the front seat—that remains the real proof point to watch for.
▶ 7:12 The video pauses its main discussion to deliver a standard call-to-action for viewers.
▶ 7:14 The host reminds viewers to hit the subscribe button and notification bell to stay updated on future tech and Tesla news.
▶ 7:19 The segment concludes with no additional news or details covered.
▶ 7:21 A Tesla Model Y driver experiencing chest pains called his son instead of driving himself, setting up a remote emergency response.
▶ 7:47 Using the Tesla app, the son remotely set the car’s destination, and Full Self-Driving drove the man to the hospital — showing FSD’s value beyond routine commutes.
▶ 7:47 FSD drove a driver to the emergency room during a medical crisis while he focused on staying calm; medical staff were waiting when the car arrived.
▶ 8:00 In a normal car, a solo driver having a heart attack would face dangerous choices, but here "the car basically became that ambulance" and likely got him there faster.
▶ 8:30 The host balances the story: he won't promise FSD will save everyone, but calls it a real upside, especially since FSD usually makes news only for crashes or recalls.
▶ 9:13 The Dutch government rejected Reuters' investigation, with the transport minister confirming FSD approval was based on independent road-authority testing, not Tesla's own safety statistics.
▶ 9:41 The approval process involved 18+ months of work, 1 million+ kilometers of public-road test drives, 13,000 customer ridealongs, and 4,500 closed-track scenarios — not a rubber stamp.
▶ 10:06 This public defense from a national regulator strengthens the entire European FSD rollout, as approvals in one country pave the way for others to follow.
▶ 10:50 Senators Markey and Blumenthal sent a letter to NHTSA requesting a formal review of Tesla's FSD safety numbers.
▶ 11:14 Tesla's methodology compares miles between serious crashes: about 5.5 million for FSD versus 660,000 for the average American driver.
▶ 11:22 The senators argue the comparison is flawed and that misleading safety data could cause over-reliance on FSD and hide safety defects.
▶ 11:45 Tesla's FSD crash safety numbers exclude any crash occurring more than 5 seconds after system disengagement, whereas the government's own standard uses a 30-second window, potentially undercounting incidents.
▶ 12:00 Tesla's crash data is entirely self-reported by the vehicle; if the crash disables the car or its connection, the incident may never be counted at all.
▶ 12:15 Lawmakers are pressing NHTSA with pointed questions, including whether it has ever independently verified Tesla's "seven times safer" claim or asked for raw data, and they are pushing for standardized crash reporting across all companies — not just Tesla.
▶ 12:35 Senator Markey has long scrutinized Tesla's driver assistance, including an FTC complaint and a NHTSA probe following a caution letter.
▶ 12:52 Tesla retired the "Autopilot" name after the California DMV deemed it misleading and threatened sales.
▶ 13:02 The Dutch Road Authority independently approved FSD, citing 15 million miles without notable incidents, contrasting with U.S. pressure.
▶ 13:24 Both realities can coexist: Tesla may overstate statistics, but FSD could still be safer; an independent review is the definitive test.
▶ 13:51 Goldman Sachs raised its Tesla Q2 delivery estimate to 420,000 vehicles, citing stronger-than-feared sales data in China, Europe, and the US—a positive contrast to negative headlines.
▶ 14:56 SpaceX is acquiring AI coding tool Cursor in an all-stock deal valuing it at ~$60 billion, signaling SpaceX's expansion from rockets into major AI software and compute.
▶ 16:21 Snap launched "Specs," true AR glasses for $2,195 with standalone computing, OpenAI integration, and CEO-stated company-wide bet, though investors reacted skeptically.
▶ 19:37 The standard iPhone 18 will reportedly ship with 12 GB of RAM (up from 8 GB) to run Apple's most powerful on-device AI and Siri features, with no base price increase expected.
▶ 20:45 OpenAI's new "Dreaming" system automatically scans years of past conversations to build a fuller user profile, boosting factual memory accuracy from ~38% to 83% — but at the cost of greater privacy concentration.
▶ 21:31 OpenAI is also adding a "lockdown mode" that cuts off ChatGPT's external connections to protect sensitive data, highlighting a growing demand for both deeper personalization and stricter control.
▶ 22:06 Tesla has officially submitted Full Self-Driving (FSD) for approval in Taiwan, with the system now under review.
▶ 22:21 Tesla is ending the one-time purchase option for FSD in Taiwan, making it subscription-only, aligning with its preference for recurring revenue.
▶ 22:44 Taiwan is the latest market outside the U.S. where Tesla is pushing for FSD approval, alongside ongoing rollouts in Europe.
▶ 22:49 A New Jersey bill would restrict autonomous vehicles so severely that true driverless service couldn't operate there.
▶ 23:04 Tesla is directly emailing New Jersey owners to push back, saying the bill specifically targets and bans its technology.
▶ 23:18 Tesla is simultaneously expanding FSD internationally while fighting to stop individual U.S. states from banning it before robotaxi service arrives.
▶ 23:37 Tesla's new software update introduces Charge Stats 2, featuring a map of all charging locations, "iconic" charging site labels, and milestone badges.
▶ 23:52 The feature is designed not to change driving, but to appeal to owners who enjoy reflecting on the places their car has taken them.
▶ 24:02 Charge Stats 2 reflects Tesla's broader strategy of turning the mobile app into a hub for charging stats and ownership, keeping owners locked into the ecosystem long term.
▶ 24:14 Tesla is bringing live activities-style notifications to the Android app, matching iOS lock-screen features for charging and robotaxi updates.
▶ 24:38 Android is getting this now because iPhones had the supporting iOS system first, while Android lacked an equivalent and Tesla has been slower to update its Android app.
▶ 25:10 This fits Tesla's broader app strategy of turning the app into the main hub for owning the car, with live charge stats described as a great update.
▶ 25:17 Tesla's Megapack factory in Lathrop, California is "absolutely packed" with inventory, valued at around $500 million ready to ship.
▶ 25:43 Demand for Megapacks is surging, with AI companies like xAI becoming major customers for grid-scale battery storage.
▶ 25:49 Megapacks have become one of Tesla's most important products, as the energy business continues to set records and grow as a core part of the company.
▶ 25:52 Tesla’s energy storage business is growing fast with strong margins, serving as a reliable counterweight even when car sales get bumpy.
▶ 25:57 Energy storage is deploying at a record pace and has been one of the biggest bright spots on Tesla’s earnings over a sustained period.
▶ 26:05 Surging AI data-center power demand makes large-scale batteries a key solution, and Tesla’s deployments at xAI strengthen the case for a future Tesla–xAI merger.
▶ 26:35 Tesla's Supercharger network surpassed 80,000 stalls worldwide, making it the largest fast-charging network of any kind.
▶ 26:45 This vast infrastructure is a big reason many people feel comfortable going electric, helping alleviate range anxiety and boost EV adoption.
▶ 26:49 The network's rapid expansion continues, with its most recent 5,000 stalls added in roughly just 4 months.
▶ 26:56 Tesla is rolling out a virtual queue feature to fix long lines at busy Superchargers, letting drivers join a waitlist via the app and see their place in line and estimated wait time on the car's screen.
▶ 27:17 The feature becomes increasingly important as Tesla opens the Supercharger network to other EVs, and is one of many small software fixes that improve the ownership experience over time.
▶ 27:44 The virtual queue is not an everyday feature—it appears only at the most popular Superchargers during holiday or major event weekends, such as Coachella weekend.
▶ 28:05 Chinese automakers BYD, Chery, and Geely are in talks with Canada’s government about manufacturing vehicles locally, moving beyond just importing EVs.
▶ 28:42 Building vehicles in Canada would help Chinese EV makers bypass the tariffs that have been the main barrier keeping them out of North America.
▶ 28:48 Tesla and Ford have been bracing for this competition, acknowledging that Chinese EVs are cheap, advanced, and a serious threat if allowed into the U.S. market.
▶ 29:27 Google's June feature drop for Android includes scam call detection and new AI features like Book Insights.
▶ 29:41 The wall between Android and iPhone is coming down: certain Samsung Galaxy phones can now share files directly with iPhones via AirDrop, a major usability upgrade.
▶ 30:08 Apple has reluctantly added RCS messaging support, improving cross-device communication overall—a good situation for everyone.
▶ 30:27 Porsche's 2027 Taycan will offer an E-shift option with eight simulated gears, paddle shifters, fake engine braking, a virtual rev limiter, and engine-like sound to mimic a manual gas car.
▶ 31:23 The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N set a precedent, surprising reviewers by making fake shifts and sounds genuinely more fun to drive, which likely pushed Porsche to adopt the feature as EVs lose traditional character.
▶ 31:48 Ryan is torn, arguing an EV should lean into its instant, seamless, silent power rather than imitate a gas car.
▶ 31:53 EVs' instant, seamless, silent power is what makes them unique, so faking gas-car behavior may contradict their core identity.
▶ 31:59 The counterargument: if synthetic gears and engine sounds restore emotional connection and help more people switch to EVs, it may be a fair trade-off.
▶ 32:11 The segment asks viewers whether EVs should fake gears and engine sounds or embrace their natural characteristics.
▶ 32:23 A Tesla Semi spotted in Arizona sports full Costco branding, including DOT numbers and a fleet ID — signaling Costco is committing the Semi to its fleet rather than just running a trial.
▶ 32:45 The Semi fits Costco's operations well because predictable distribution-center-to-warehouse routes and recharging at the depot match the truck's designed cycle.
▶ 33:10 A household name like Costco putting its own logo on the Semi is a stronger commitment than previous fleet customers and is great news for Tesla, even though this spotted truck is an older pre-production version.
▶ 33:41 The host opens the final segment with a "quick mention" segment, signaling brief news-style updates.
▶ 33:43 SpaceX surpassed Amazon to become the fifth most valuable company in the world, with a valuation of roughly $2.8 trillion.
▶ 33:43 The ranking places SpaceX behind only Nvidia, Alphabet, Apple, and Microsoft, though the host notes it may already be outdated by the time the video is published.
▶ 33:55 The segment opens with a brief update on U.S. EV charging infrastructure, noting the milestone that the country has crossed 250,000 public EV charging points.
▶ 34:00 Of that total, more than 73,000 are DC fast chargers, underscoring the growing availability of high-speed charging across the U.S.
▶ 34:05 New report on Meta smart glasses shifts focus from charging infrastructure to privacy concerns.
▶ 34:09 Code for a facial recognition feature was found in Meta’s smart glasses app, raising privacy alarms.
▶ 34:16 Meta says the feature is not enabled, but the discovery highlights broader privacy risks with camera-equipped wearables.
▶ 34:22 The section shifts to Tesla's online shop, where a new Cybertruck accessory has been added.
▶ 34:25 Tesla added an off-road light bar for the Cybertruck to its store.
▶ 34:27 The accessory is now available for anyone looking to equip or "kit out" their Cybertruck.
