$25K Tesla EV Is Here at Last, According to Musk

No it's a Musk announcement. It will come later than expected and at a higher cost.

I get that this is puff piece by a fan publication, but is there any possible coherent reading of this sentence? I assume this is referring to the idea that the Cybertruck's original conception as an "exoskeleton" design was intended to make manufacturing easier, but has completely failed (the current Cybertruck design is conventional body on frame), not just failing to accelerate manufacturing but obviously delaying it for years... but why would returning to a conventional design give Tesla any edge over the more experienced players in the industry? While Tesla has been able to get production to a small fraction of the real players remarkably quickly in exchange for things like non-uniform panel gaps and marginal build quality, this is at best a partial mitigation, not an edge.

As Ron Burgundy would say, "I don't believe you."

A new Toyota Corolla Hybrid starts at $23k.
