Cheap Tesla Still Not Here? Launch Delayed by At Least 3 Months
Hi everyone!
If you've been waiting for Tesla’s long-rumored “cheap model” — you're not alone.
Investors, EV fans, and budget-conscious buyers have all been eyeing this release for months now…
But the latest update?
π The launch is reportedly delayed by at least 3 months.
⏳ What Happened to the Affordable Tesla?
Tesla’s so-called “Model 2” — rumored to be priced under $25,000 — was expected to be the company’s game-changer for the mass market.
Think of it as the EV that could truly compete with gas-powered compacts globally, especially in Asia and Europe.
Originally, the launch was anticipated sometime in late 2025, with production preparation already underway.
But according to industry sources and recent supply chain chatter, it looks like:
π§ “Launch is delayed by at least 3 months due to design adjustments and internal timeline revisions.”
Yup. It’s another wait π©
π€ Why the Delay?
A few possible reasons being mentioned:
-
Design tweaks to improve cost-efficiency and production scalability
-
Factory retooling needs, especially at Giga Mexico and Giga Texas
-
Focus shift to Cybertruck fixes and FSD (Full Self-Driving) rollout
-
Global EV market slowdown causing Tesla to reassess production priorities
While Tesla hasn't officially confirmed the delay, sources say the company is taking its time to get it right — possibly to avoid production bottlenecks seen in past launches.
π Stock Market Reaction?
Tesla shares have already been under pressure lately due to Cybertruck recalls, China competition, and overall EV demand cooling.
This delay news?
It didn’t help.
π» Tesla dropped modestly in after-hours trading, though many analysts note that long-term optimism for the low-cost model remains.
Some even believe the delay might be strategic — launching in a stronger market cycle with better cost margins.
π Final Thoughts
-
“Cheap Tesla” model delayed by at least 3 months
-
Possible launch pushed to mid-to-late 2026
-
Caused by design & production adjustments
-
Investors should stay tuned for official confirmation during upcoming earnings calls
