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'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.

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

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.
