NEW $25K BUDGET TESLA MODEL Q | FINAL LEAKS + PRICE REVEAL!

EV Channels Review

The video delves into the highly anticipated, ultra-low-cost Tesla Model Q, exploring its potential pricing, features, and design. The reviewer highlights the complexity surrounding the final price, heavily influenced by the uncertain future of the US federal EV tax credit. Without it, a 20% price reduction from the base Model 3 ($42,990) would place the Model Q around $34,392, but with the tax credit, it could approach the target $25,000-$26,000 mark. A significant potential cost-saving strategy discussed is the deployment of personal vehicles into Tesla's robo-taxi fleet, offering owners a discount in exchange for dedicating their car to ride-sharing duties for a set number of hours. Feature-wise, expect a stripped-down experience, omitting luxuries like leather seats, heated/ventilated seats, and potentially a glass roof, to meet the price point. Design possibilities range from repurposing existing lower-end models like the Model 3 or Model Y, shrinking the Model Y, or even utilizing the Cybertruck's Cyber Cab variant. The reviewer emphasizes that while core functionality will remain, premium features will be sacrificed for affordability.
