Don't Listen To Elon Musk, The $25,000 Tesla Probably Isn't Coming

For years now, Tesla has been promising a $25,000 car to serve as the entry point for the brand. This is unlikely to ever happen, but Elon Musk continues to claim it’s totally real and absolutely coming any day now — even when Reuters says it’s dead.

Musk claimed on Twitter that the Reuters report was “lying (again),” with no further evidence to back up this claim. He went on to call the outlet “dying” and “the lair [sic] champion among legacy press orgs,” only adding detail by adding an “eyes” emoji to a post speculating that the $25,000 car might be the robotaxi. Electrek, meanwhile, cites inside sources who claim that the small car has been back-burnered — no matter what Musk says.
