TESLA LAUNCHES NEW BUDGET MODELS OWNERS ARE FURIOUS

EV Channels Review

The video discusses Tesla's upcoming 2025 lineup, focusing on new, more affordable models and the controversial feature deletions in the base Cybertruck. The reviewer highlights the imminent launch of a rear-wheel-drive, standard range Model Y, which is already available in some markets but notably absent from the US. This model is positioned as a significant sales driver, offering a lower entry price point by making concessions on interior materials (cloth vs. higher-end fabric on doors) and potentially range/performance. The base Cybertruck is also detailed, with significant feature removals like air suspension, power tonneau cover, and upgraded audio, leading to owner dissatisfaction despite a lower price point around $62,000 with tax credits. The reviewer suggests these cost-cutting measures, particularly feature deletions, will be a blueprint for future budget models like a potential "Model Q" or "Model 2" targeting a $25,000 price point, possibly derived from the Cybertruck platform or a repurposed older Model Y. The video also mentions a potential company update on April 22nd for more details on these new models.
