Deep dives
Tesla expands into South America with launch in Chile
Tesla is looking to launch its first presence in South America by entering the Chilean market. With a total South American market size of about 4 million vehicles per year, this move opens up significant opportunities for Tesla. Being the second-largest market in the region after Brazil, Chile is expected to be a strong foothold for Tesla as it expands further. This launch sets the stage for Tesla's future growth initiatives in South America and underscores the company's commitment to expanding its global presence.
Model 3 Highland receives positive reviews in first drive
Motor Trend recently had the opportunity for a first drive of the highly anticipated Model 3 Highland. The review highlights that Tesla has made significant improvements with this update, addressing many customer demands. The changes include improved ride quality, reduced noise levels, and a high level of satisfaction with the new touch-sensitive controls. Despite some criticism towards Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities, the overall consensus is that the Model 3 Highland is a substantially better car than its predecessors, which bodes well for Tesla's continued success in the market.
