Welcome to Jowua's weekly roundup of news from the Tesla universe. In today's review, we will dive into the most significant and interesting events that have an important impact on the further development of the company. Well, let's begin.
Some Model 3 variants lose full US tax credit
In the middle of last week, it became known that buyers of Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and Long Range (LR) cars in the United States will lose the full tax credit of $7,500 starting January 1, 2024. Electric vehicles in the US have to meet certain requirements related to the origin of the car and its battery, as well as the sources of materials. Last month, the Treasury Department unveiled new rules for tax credits that say that starting next year, “an eligible clean vehicle must not incorporate battery components manufactured or assembled by a Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC).” Since then, Tesla has updated the tax incentive information on its website.Tesla unveils Optimus Gen 2
Tesla has made huge progress in developing its bipedal robot Optimus. In a video published on December 13, the company introduced the second-generation robot, with improved appearance and performance. The new generation of robots has hands that are unique in the field. They are very precise and the robot can precisely control the force applied to them. For example, in the video shown, Optimus moved raw chicken eggs and did not crush a single one. According to Tesla, Optimus Gen 2 is about 10 kilograms lighter than the first model and has better balance. Additionally, it should now run 30 percent faster than the previous model.Tesla received permits to build Giga Mexico
The Mexican state of Nuevo León is actively promoting the start of construction of a new Tesla factory. The local government allocated $153 million in incentives to build the infrastructure requested by the company. This includes water supply, electricity supply, and roads, among other things.In addition, Mexico's Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) informed that the necessary permits to obtain final approval from the federal government have been granted. This means that Tesla can officially begin construction of the factory. However, the actual start date for construction remains unknown.

The union strike against Tesla in Sweden continues. Although the vast majority of the company's employees are not in favor, the strike continues to receive support from unions from other Scandinavian countries. As pressure increases, Tesla is strengthening its Nordic legal team by starting a search for a Public Policy and Business Development Manager in the region.Tesla NACS recognition

On Tuesday, SAE International confirmed Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector, designed by the Texas manufacturer, as the new standard.Volkswagen Group also announced Tuesday that Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, and Scout Motors will adopt NACS in its future electric vehicles in the North American region starting in 2025.
