Tesla usually announces models and ships them years later, so there’s no history to back the start of production of new models in the first half of 2025, regardless of what they say
- bryanlarsen 2y agoThat's not true. The Model 3 refresh was not announced until after it shipped. Tesla announces non-competitive new models way in advance. The cybercab and cybervan announcements do not compete with existing models and thus could be announced years in advance. However, Tesla is well aware of the Osbourne phenomenon. Announcing a $25,000 car would destroy sales of 3, so they haven't done so.
- akmarinov 2y agoThe Model 3 refresh isn’t a new car though And they announced the Cybercab at $25k, potentially eating into the Model 3 They’re not just dropping a $25k Model 2 this year The Model 3 refresh and the upcoming Model Y refresh got leaked a year out, there’s just no leaks for a Model 2 whatsoever.
- modeless 2y agoThis is true. But it would make sense to do it differently this time. On the other hand I would expect more leaks if they really were close to production. They did keep the Cybercab under wraps pretty well even after making 20 of them. But it's not going into volume production soon.
