Tesla will soon make improvements to the V4 Supercharger

Tesla has opened its proprietary network of charging stations for all electric vehicles in multiple countries around the world. To provide the best user experience, the company has developed new V4 Superchargers. They have a different architecture and design to be more convenient for all users. The first units were installed in Europe in 2023, so they have already been tested by many EV owners. Based on customer experience, Tesla promised it would make changes to the design. In particular, complaints were received about heavier and less flexible cables, and the holster not always holding the handle in place. The company intends to improve this.

Tesla's Model Y was the best-selling car in Norway in 2023 for the third year in a row

Tesla shows strength again in Norway. According to overall sales data for 2023, Model Y has become the best-selling car in the country. It is noteworthy that the company delivered 23,058 vehicles in 12 months, while the number two in sales in 2023, Volkswagen ID.4, delivered only 6,336 units. Model Y was already the best-selling car in the country in 2022. In 2021, the best-selling car was Model 3.

This means we can expect Tesla to begin selling the updated Model 3 in North America soon.
