As much as we saw the 35K Model 3. It was almost impossible to order and soon after they announced it, it got discontinued.
Another marketing campaign by Tesla to garner some attention to their brand.
to be fair - with Stellantis, there IS a 23k EV you can order and buy, starting next month.
It's more than likely Tesla would try to enter the same price span. They do still offer relatively cheap cars in each segment, and with knowledge regarding Gigapress and battery technology, they could easily do it.
But I have my doubts they'd do so in Germany. My bet is Mexico
There is the e-c3 that should be available in a few months around 23k, then the Renault R5 that should cost 25k and the Volkswagen ID.2 that should be around this price too in 2025.
There is a lot of competition arriving in this segment which is great.
So there is car a which isn't available yet but will be soon for a low price tag. There's also car b, which isn't available either but will be soon as well. And there's also car c, which isn't available as well but will surely be just as affordable.
Aren't EVs just great for lower incomes?
