Yeah. Where is it disproven. Just read a Reuters article where it looked like the story is real.
a $25k Model 2 would heavily eat into Model 3 and Model Y sales because not everyone needs a car that big. Also - the margins of lower priced cars are much lower than of a $45k+ vehicle. Hard to see a Model 2 for under $30k happening with assembly in the US. Also - Tesla is notorious for delays and we haven't even seen any unveiling of designs/ prototypes. Don't see a Model 2 being delivered before 2026-2027 (...)But I would not be surprised if Tesla plan to delay the Model 2 util they will be guaranty that they could sell at least 2 million of it or more a year.
Currently, the demand for EV seems to not increase at the expected rate, and even hybrid get more popular.
I think one of the reasons is that there is not enough charging solutions for people who cannot charge at home or during the day at work.
Many people in cities park at night in the street and there is a need to be able to charge at night while sleeping.
A lot of L2 public chargers are also vandalised for getting they copper cable cut and sold at a scrap yard.
Installing wireless public chargers could be a solution for making charging simple and less prone to be vadalised.
well... in hindsight having the Cybertruck suck up engineering resources and production capabilities might not have been the best decision for the markets...Tesla puts '$25,000 electric car' codenamed NV9 on back burner despite what Elon Musk said
Electrek can confirm that Tesla indeed put its upcoming ‘$25,000 electric car, sometimes referred to as ‘Model 2’, on the...electrek.co
I would wonder about that. The body style would be different (compact crossover vs sedan), so I’m not sure that would be a condition. If anything, I’d say definitely before the Model Y as I’d think it would fit between the Y and 3 in terms of size and style and therefore pricing.Eventually the 25k Tesla will come, just a question of how long it will take, i think it will be before the time a Model 3 is 25k
Is the Model 2 not the 25k Tesla? I don't think you will get a bigger car for less money, other cheap EV's often seem to be reduced to 4 seats.I would wonder about that.

Most of the speculation is that what people are calling the "Model 2" or NV9 is intended to be smaller and cheaper than the Model 3. If it is in the form of a compact crossover or hatchback, take a look at the size and form factor of the Hyundai Kona and Chevrolet Bolt, or the slightly larger Kia Niro for comparison.So, if I use that as a rough basis, then Tesla could wait a while and let pricing on the M3 fall just below 25k before introducing the M2.
But who knows.
So, you missed the part where I said I had a Honda HR-V? It's the same body style (compact crossover) and it often compared to the Hyundai Kona. Honda HR-V vs. Hyundai Kona Comparison - TrueCar and even if you swap to the EV version, it's mostly the same because they lowered the ground clearance to add the battery.

We have updated our future vehicle line-up to accelerate the launch of new models ahead of our previously communicated start of production in the second half of 2025," Tesla said in its first quarter shareholder release.
Second half of 2025 in Tesla speak = optimistically mid-2026 with ramp up in late 2026Musk backpedalling:
Tesla stock surges as EV maker will 'accelerate' the launch of cheaper cars
Tesla said it would "accelerate" the launch of new models next year, including lower-cost cars, countering reports earlier this month it had scraped those plans.finance.yahoo.com

I mean - if there’s a Model 2 hitting production in just about a year+ …. How come we haven’t even seen the design ?
