In this video from Doug DeMuro, the guys dive into the latest buzz surrounding the Tesla Model Y refresh. They dissect the minor tweaks, like the addition of a front camera and unchanged tail lights, pondering if these updates will truly move the sales needle. Drawing parallels to the Model 3 refresh, they reminisce about the notable improvements in suspension and interior, sparking a debate on the refresh's impact on Tesla's bottom line. The team questions if the changes are enough to excite current owners to trade in for the updated model, especially in a competitive market segment experiencing a downturn.

Shifting gears, the discussion veers towards Chrysler's surprising move to halt production of the Airflow EV, signaling a potential shift away from electric vehicles. Speculations run wild about Chrysler's motives, with hints of political influences and market uncertainties shaping their decision-making process. The team reflects on Chrysler's rocky history with the Charger EV transition and the challenges they face amidst evolving consumer preferences and industry dynamics. The cancellation of the Airflow EV raises questions about Chrysler's future strategy and their ability to stay afloat in a rapidly changing automotive landscape.

As the conversation steers towards Volkswagen, the team explores the upcoming Scout brand release, featuring a pickup truck and SUV set to hit the market soon. Of particular interest is the Harvester trim, boasting a range-extending gasoline engine positioned behind the rear axle. With over 50% of pre-orders opting for this unique trim, Volkswagen's strategic move to cater to diverse consumer preferences in the EV space becomes evident. The team delves into the implications of this decision, highlighting Volkswagen's innovative approach to capture a significant share of the EV market while offering customers a compelling alternative in the form of the Harvester trim.
