Where Are the Affordable Teslas? Updates and Expectations for 2025

Hey everyone, DennisCW here! With just two weeks left in Q2, I’ve been diving deep into the latest Tesla news, and one question keeps popping up: Where are the affordable Teslas? Let’s break down the latest updates, statements from Tesla, and what we can realistically expect in the near future.

Tesla’s Promise of Affordable Models

During the Q1 earnings call on April 23rd, Tesla’s leadership, including Lars, reiterated their commitment to more affordable vehicles. According to the call, Tesla has plans for new vehicles, including budget-friendly models, with production slated to begin in the first half of 2025. These vehicles are expected to blend elements of Tesla’s next-generation platforms with their current platforms, and they’ll be manufactured on the same lines as the existing lineup. Exciting stuff, right? But the clock is ticking, and we’re all waiting for more concrete details.

Delays or Misinterpretations?

Back in April, Reuters dropped a bombshell with an exclusive report claiming Tesla might delay the U.S. launch of these lower-cost electric vehicles (EVs). Two months later, there’s still no official update from Tesla to counter or confirm this. So, are we looking at a delay, or are we misinterpreting Tesla’s statements?

Let’s dissect their wording. Tesla specifically mentioned “affordable models,” and in a way, they’ve already delivered on this promise to some extent. The Cybertruck Rear-Wheel Drive and Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive are more budget-friendly options compared to their counterparts. But let’s be real—when most of us hear “affordable models,” we’re picturing something groundbreaking, like a sub-$30,000 EV, a next-gen Model Y, or even hints of the much-anticipated Robotaxi. So far, there’s no sign of those game-changers, and it leaves us wondering if Tesla’s definition of “affordable” aligns with ours.

My Take: I’ll Believe It When I See It

I’ve said this from the start—I’m keeping my expectations in check. While I’m hopeful for a cheaper Model Y or other innovative vehicles, my stance remains: I’ll believe it when I see it. Tesla has a history of ambitious timelines, and delays aren’t uncommon in the EV industry. Still, with production supposedly starting in 2025, there’s room for optimism. What do you think? Are you still holding out hope for a truly affordable Tesla, or do you think we’re in for a longer wait? Drop your thoughts in the comments—I’d love to hear your take!

After testing countless options—from 3D Maxpider USA to Tesmanian and random Amazon brands—I’ve found my absolute favorite: 3W Liners.
