TESLA KILLS THE $35,000 MODEL 3 FOR GOOD

EV Channels Review

The video discusses the discontinuation of the $35,000 Tesla Model 3, a long-promised but inconsistently available variant. The reviewer explains Tesla's master plan, from the original Roadster to the Model 3, highlighting the challenges in achieving the affordable price point. While the $35,000 Model 3 is officially dead, the author argues that the Standard Range Plus, at $37,990, offers significantly better value with more range and basic Autopilot. The core argument is that Tesla never truly intended the $35,000 version to be viable due to battery costs and production complexities. However, the video expresses optimism for a future $25,000 Tesla, citing advancements in battery technology, increased production capacity with new factories, and lessons learned from previous ramp-ups. The reviewer anticipates this future model will offer compelling range and features, potentially replacing the current Standard Range Plus and fulfilling Tesla's long-term goal of mass-market EVs.
