You've probably noticed the new intro and the new background today. That's all because of our title sponsor for this month. Blue edy, so obvious.

Ly, glad to have them here, but the show is not going to change too much the content, so could be the same. And with that, we are going to lead right into news about tesla. Tesla updated at someone feature a few weeks ago, and now this owner can't get to his car.

We were contacted by janie, a tesla owner, and halifax nova, with a simple photo showing his interesting parking situation, which he's been using successfully for the last four and and a half years. In fact, he bought his tesla specifically for the summer feature, as is the only way this particular parking spot would work for. He commonly gets comments from people wonder and how he gets his car in an ad of there.

All the book was fine until about two weeks ago when he received tesla firm where versions twelve point, five point, four point one and something broke in his car so that he will no longer move. This version of the software did make changes to both actually smart summer and the old dumb summer feature. The latter is the system that Jenny has been using this whole time.

But now when he tries to use the function, IT fails in any number of ways as the car detects walls being too close and aborts the move, even if he can visually confirm that the situation is safe, the car cycles city various error messages cannot find clear path to pin autopilot temporarily to gage stop. Due to unexpected error in the light, jie has been able to get IT to some amount of the time, but estimates that IT only works one out of every twenty years, so tries whereas used to work one hundred percent of time. 那 obviously， ji's case is an edge case and there are other options, presumably available form, but none of them we're going to be quite as convenient that particular spot.

So obviously, changes being made there that could easily be roll back. But that's, of course, only true of tesla has engineered a rollback feature in its software updates, something that has had in the past but recently has not been talked about too much. But in other tesla news, tesla start cyberia ck deliveries in canada as the U.

S. Backlog runs out. So that is funny to tesla stories. Both of the man. canada. Tesla is officially starting cyber truck deliveries in canada as its backlog in the U. S.

Appears to have been exhausted that, according to fred, at one point italy showed that tesla might have had as many as two million reservations worlwide for the controversial truck. Yet within a year and about forty thousand vehicles later, tesla peers to have exhausted entirely its backlog in the U. S.

Anyone who wants to order a cyber truck today can do so without a reservation and get delivery within a week or so. Today, tesla is starting to deliver cyber trucks in canada. Unlike in the U.

S, people in canada are still limited. The foundation series cyber trucks, which start at one hundred and thirty eight thousand canadian. Now there is quite a lot of speculation in articles these days surrounding cyber truck production, whether or not they're going to be able to eventually meet that goal.

But the company announced the milestone earlier this week as sales have surged to record highs last quarter after selling a record of thirty two thousand eds in the U. S. In the third quarter.

Is chavez thirty five thousand dollar equal X E, V, L, T. Now arriving at deal ships throughout the U. S. The lower Price twenty twenty five several E V L T is also hitting dealerships across the U. S.

And when you look at G M cumulus ebs sold in the U S, you start to see the beginnings of that hockey stick growth that we become used to talking about in regards to tesla over the last ten or so years. So it'll be interesting to see whether gm is able to continue that momentum. Rose also said the company's E, V, economies will improve as volume increases, enabling even lower Prices.

Gms president even took a jabot ford saying, we don't need to create gun works to create more affordable electric vehicles, adding, we know how to do this. G M said, I can offer evs at a lower Prices. Battery cost continue to fall.
