Hey everyone, Dennis here from DennisCW! Welcome back to the blog. In today's video, we dove into some exciting Tesla updates, including the brand-new Frost Blue color now available on the Model 3 and Model Y Performance in the US. We also covered wild Model S and X resale profits, a new NHTSA safety milestone, Rivian R2 impressions, and the Lexus TZ as a potential Model X rival.

Frost Blue: The Cool New Color from S/X's Past
Tesla just dropped Frost Blue for the Model 3 and Model Y Performance trims in the US. This metallic blue was previously exclusive to the Model S and X (RIP those flagships). Now it's trickling down, possibly from leftover paint stock. It's darker and more premium in person than marketing shots suggest—perfect for a stealth PPF wrap.
Frost Blue on Model Y Performance—sporty and sleek!
Note: Standard Premium trims get Marine Blue (a darker Euro import), but Frost Blue is Performance-only. All colors are free on Performance, but it might edge out pricier options like Quicksilver ($2K). Order with my Tesla referral code for 0% APR + 3 months free FSD!
Pro tip: Pair it with PPF from OCT Solutions—mention the "Dennis Deal" for a hookup.

Quick Tesla Recall: Rear Camera Fix via OTA
Another OTA recall for Model 3/Y rear camera delays. I've experienced the lag—annoying, but Tesla's software magic fixes it seamlessly. No shop visit needed. Love how they handle this!

Model S & X Market Gone Wild: $40K Flip Profits?
The refreshed S/X discontinuation has created a frenzy. Spotted in the Only Used Tesla Marketplace:
- 2026 Model X Signature: $200K (from $160K MSRP) + $40K co-owner fee.
- Frost Blue 2026 X Plaid (14K miles): $158K.
- Model S Plaid: $135K.
Owners are flipping for massive gains. Demand is hot—buy now, drive a year, and you might still profit. Check PlaidsForSale.com for listings. Got an S/X? Sell to Plug for aggressive offers.
Model Y Makes History: First to Pass NHTSA's New ADAS Tests
The 2026 Model Y is the first US vehicle to ace NHTSA's brand-new advanced driver-assist tests (approved Nov 2024). This validates FSD's life-saving potential. If you're on the fence about FSD (now subscribable), this boosts confidence!
Grab accessories like Joah's phone mount (promo in description) for FSD use.
Rivian R2: Nimble Beast with 656 HP
Rivian teased the R2: 0-60 in 3.6s, 9.6" ground clearance, semi-active suspension. Lighter and shorter than R1S, it's sporty off-road. First customer-ready units off the line (employee deliveries soon, public in June?). Excited for real reviews!
Lexus TZ: The Model X Killer with True Third Row?
Lexus TZ: Up to 300 miles range, 77/96 kWh batteries, 150kW peak charge, NACS port. Fake gearshift sounds? Fun! Captain's chairs + third row fill the large EV SUV gap post-Model X. Pricing TBD, but it's part Lucid Gravity, part van.
