    Watts In The News - Tesla's HUGE Mistake Why They're Moving Too Fast!

    This week on Watts in the News, we break down one of the biggest shifts in Tesla’s history. Tesla has officially canceled the Model S and Model X, ending new sales as production lines at Fremont are converted to build Optimus humanoid robots. The move signals a major pivot toward AI, robotics, Full Self-Driving (FSD), and Robotaxi, raising big questions about Tesla’s long-term direction.We’re joined by Tesla legends and YouTubers Bearded Tesla Guy and JoshWest 24/7, who bring firsthand perspective from years of Tesla ownership, long-distance road trips, and a recent FSD drive across the United States. Together, we discuss whether Tesla is moving too fast, whether the company is shifting away from personally owned vehicles, and what this means for future products like Robotaxi, Cybercab, and even the Cybertruck potentially operating autonomously for cargo and logistics.➡️ ⁨Tesla Conversation With  @BeardedTeslaGuy  and  @JoshWest247  : https://youtu.be/XS3rPj-LPI4➡️ Jessie's Trip to Sweden with  @kempower  : https://youtu.be/A-ifvVG_qPc➡️ BowefamilyEV Silverado, Lightning at Gravity at the Tesla V4 Chargers! : https://youtu.be/SHyH59MANtYWe also cover the importance of charging infrastructure at scale. Co-host Jessie shares insights from his upcoming trip to Sweden with Kempower, where he’ll see megawatt charging in action, and we discuss why megawatt-level charging is critical for heavy-duty EVs. Plus, we break down Tesla’s megawatt charging agreement with Pilot and what it means for the future of electric trucking in North America.From Tesla’s vehicle cancellations to Optimus, autonomy, and charging at massive scale — this episode tackles the question: Is Tesla building the future too early, or exactly on time?🔑 KeywordsTesla earnings call, Tesla cancels Model S and Model X, Model S canceled, Model X canceled, Tesla Optimus, Optimus robots, Tesla FSD, Full Self Driving, Elon Musk Tesla, Tesla news, Tesla earnings reaction, Tesla autonomous driving, Tesla AI, Tesla robots, Tesla future, Tesla pivot, Tesla podcast, EV news, electric vehicles, Cybertruck, FSD road trip, Bearded Tesla Guy, JoshWest 24/7 megawatt charging, EV truck charging, electric semi trucks, Kempower megawatt charging, EV charging infrastructure, electric truck charging, megawatt charging system, Volvo electric truck, MAN electric truck, Scania electric truck, EV trucking, heavy duty EVs, fleet EV charging, fast charging EV trucks, CPO EV charging, commercial EV charging, electric semi charging, future of EV trucks, megawatt EV charger @volvotrucks @ScaniaTrucksBuses @mantrucksandbuses

    Tesla Just Killed S and X for FSD and Our Robot Overlords! - Here's Why!

    Tesla Cancels Model S & X. During yesterday’s Tesla earnings call, Elon Musk confirmed that Tesla will end new Model S and Model X sales in Q2, shutting down those production lines to convert them for manufacturing up to 1 million Optimus robots. This marks one of the most dramatic pivots in Tesla’s history as the company shifts its focus from flagship vehicles to AI, robotics, and Full Self-Driving (FSD).In this episode, we’re joined by special guests  @BeardedTeslaGuy  and  @JoshWest247  two longtime Tesla YouTubers with unmatched perspective. Josh famously completed a cross-Canada road trip in a Model S years ago before moving to the U.S., while Bearded Tesla Guy drove a Cybertruck from Florida to the Arctic Circle. Together, they recently completed an FSD road trip across the United States, giving them a front-row seat to Tesla’s autonomous future.We break down what this decision really means, why Tesla is prioritizing Optimus, how FSD fits into Elon Musk’s long-term vision, and whether this move signals a fundamental shift away from cars—or the next phase of Tesla’s dominance.🔑 KeywordsTesla earnings call, Tesla cancels Model S and Model X, Model S canceled, Model X canceled, Tesla Optimus, Optimus robots, Tesla FSD, Full Self Driving, Elon Musk Tesla, Tesla news, Tesla earnings reaction, Tesla autonomous driving, Tesla AI, Tesla robots, Tesla future, Tesla pivot, Tesla podcast, EV news, electric vehicles, Cybertruck, FSD road trip, Bearded Tesla Guy, JoshWest 24/7🏷️ Hashtags#tesla #fullselfdriving #optimus #autonomousvehicles #electricvehicles #evinfrastructure #futureofmobility #robotics #ai #energyinfrastructure #turndownforwatt #powerupamerica
