Scrapping it in favor of robotaxis, which Musk calls the "future of mobility." I'm tired of billionaires selling me something new that already has an economical and environmentally sound solution. What a prick.

Elon already denied this hours before this was posted.

This under $25k EV has been "teased” for so long that it's probably going the way of the hyperloop.

Here is an article about said budget Tesla from 4 years ago.

That’s still 25000 too many dollars anyway.

Tesla is going to be scrapping a heck of a lot more if they don’t get their act together. This is coming from a Model S owner.

I use FSD everyday. I love my glass roof. The updates are great and have dramatically improved the car over the last 6 years.

Care to share an example?

I got that dynamic full beam update just the other day

FSD is far from great. I’d say it’s unusable for me. On the way home the road curves slightly to the left. Pretty routine scenario. But, for whatever reason, my model 3 slams the brakes because it thinks it’s the end of the road. Extremely annoying and there’s nothing I can do about it. I drive on this road everyday. I never use FSD or the plain autopilot because of that.

Same. Model S owner and as much as I love the car, I just can't put money into Elon's pocket again.

I'm surprised they didn't cancel the Cybertruck after all the delays and redesign work. It doesn't seem crazy to expect bad news about the new roadster.
