During the call of the shareholders who followed the recent announcement of quarterly profits from Tesla, Elon Musk “let the bag out of the bag” (as he expressed) stating that the very affordable hypoothetic tesla will simply be a model A Y. cut and.
The Divisive CEO did not enter more detail, only that the production is scheduled for August or September, but it is understood that the model and cheaper will be offered at a lower price thanks to a reduction in internal technology, the use of less expensive materials and a series of more affordable exterior flourisures.
While many sectors of the Tesla purchase community have anxiously waiting for a completely new affordable model, which was once proposed to be a $ 25,000 tesla that was rumored that it was based on the “Unboxed” platform of Cybercab, Musk believes that making the model and more accessible will help Boyoy’s sales.
In the same call call, Musk warned the shareholders of a “few quarters to come”, commenting on the fact that the Trump administration had eliminated a series of initiatives and incentives that had previously demonstrated a rich flow of income for the company.
These include the regulatory credits that the company sold to more polluting rivals to help compensate for its carbon emissions.
To aggravate the affairs, The Guardian reported that the figures published by the European Association of Automobile Manufacturers (ACEA) revealed that the sales of Tesla vehicles in Europe fell 33% to 110,000 in the first half of 2025, compared to 165,000 in the first half of 2024.
Elon Musk has been trying to soften the coup to investors stating that the company’s future lies in its robotaxi and autonomous driving solutions, boldly affirming the gain call that “half of the population of the United States will be covered by the Tesla Robotaxi for the end of the year.”
This despite the fact that their service “paid by” is still limited to a series of selected guests, all of which will have to share the trip with a Tesla security operation and can only travel in a strictly geographical area of Austin, Texas.
Tesla’s data suggest that the autopilot is worsening
While Elon Musk is still hitting the drum for his autonomous driving systems, Tesla revealed a security report of the autopilot that suggests that his autonomous driving technology only for camera has retreated in 2025.
The data highlighted miles between accidents for Tesla vehicles with the characteristics of the activated autopilot, comparing that with the average of the United States of miles driven between accidents.
Electrek has been informing about this topic for years and clearly points out the many holes in the data selected by Tesla cherries. But even taking into account the various biases and discrepancies, the numbers clearly show that there were fewer miles between accidents in the first quarter of 2025 than in the same quarter of last year.
It is worth noting that this is only related to the autopilot, which is a technology lower than the Tesla Self -Control System (FSD).
But it is not yet a good look, especially when the CEO boasts that customers can soon use FSD without supervision; In other words, at hand/without view in a variety of driving conditions that very few manufacturers have managed to decipher successfully.
