Cause it was put out during a shareholder meeting and not Musk directly? Quote "We have updated our future vehicle line-up to accelerate the launch of new models ahead of our previously communicated start of production in the second half of 2025," Tesla said in its first quarter shareholder release As for them being able to do it in 2025, well that is the question.

If it came from Tesla it came from Musk, just like anything Ford says publicly came from Farley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla is being enigmatic about this, the basis of the 2 being low cost was changed construction process. I assume that was cutting out more time consuming steps in the body shop area, the rumour was the vehicle being gigacastings in a few major pieces that could be quickly joined…that process could be applied to the next generation 3, Y, S and X if Tesla chose to do so. And I suspect the deflection of the rumoured 2 to an autonomous taxi vehicle is probably an smart way to cover what is really planned without lying in investment calls. Of course, this is speculation but you’re right about Musk announcements ending up being inaccurate but it serves the purpose of redirection away from disappointment over Q1 results falling short of expectation. At some point, Tesla sales wil start to level out unless it offers a 2 sized vehicle that markets like Europe and China crave but I doing so that will probably carve into 3/Y sales as people in those regions probably chose a smaller vehicle for their needs.
