Hey there, future car enthusiasts! 🚗✨ Have you ever dreamed of a cool, affordable electric car? Well, let’s talk about Tesla, Elon Musk, and the $25,000 car that everyone was excited about!
Last year, many people were thrilled because Tesla was planning to make a new electric car that would cost around $25,000. That’s much cheaper than the current Tesla models! This car was nicknamed the ‘Model 2’ by fans because it would come after the Model 3.
But something unexpected happened. A news company called Reuters reported that Tesla had canceled this plan. When Elon Musk, the big boss of Tesla, heard about this, he quickly said on social media, ‘Reuters is lying!’ 🧐
This made some people, even inside Tesla, scratch their heads. Why? Because they knew that the $25,000 car project was actually stopped, and Tesla was focusing on making cars that could drive themselves, called robotaxis! 🤖🚕
Some Tesla executives were puzzled by Elon Musk’s message. They wondered if he had changed his mind about the affordable car. But Elon told them that the project was still canceled.
Meanwhile, other car companies were busy! A company from the Chinese mainland called BYD started selling lots of affordable electric cars, even outselling Tesla in parts of Europe! Their cool little car, the BYD Seagull, costs less than $10,000 in China. 🐦🚗
Now, a year later, Tesla still hasn’t released the low-cost car that many people were hoping for. Some fans and investors are curious about what’s next for Tesla.
So, will we see an affordable Tesla soon? Only time will tell! But one thing’s for sure: the race to make the best and most affordable electric cars is super exciting! ⚡🏁
