3 very good criticism over Tesla’s cheap model expectations

Last Updated: 20 July 2025, 12:09 AM

Now the first half of 2025 has ended – it’s been almost three weeks – and we have still seen more affordable models that Tesla said production will start in the first half of 2025. What is happening to these people, who knows? I wrote about it and a few days ago I threw many questions about these models and Tesla’s future. Not surprising, there were many good reactions from readers. Some of them mobilized this follow -up article. I went back to an article about these cheap models about 4 months ago because I realized that I never read it through a commentary thread. I also got a comment to add it.

First, readers “Dashpol” offered solid criticism of Tesla, which developed potentially more cheap models and tried to take advantage of it.

“I think the ‘more affordable model’ never made more meaning as a strategy for Tesla anyway. Model 3 is already a small car according to American standards, and cutting the trunk to make a hatchback was not saving too much money (and will damage the range more).

In view of the large discounts available on EGVWAGs or renal items, they will have to leave the price like £ 10k in the UK to compete against the pre -exist in this size category.

“So if it doesn’t work in Europe or the United States, Tesla is expected to sell very cheap small cars? Do they intend to counter incredibly cheap cars in China?

“The full point of Tesla’s cars was S3 XC. Basically, fast sleek cars that enthusiastic human baby.

“Many big vehicles could be built based on the Tesla Wii platform. Station wagon, van, reasonably cheap 3-ROSUV, more intelligent. A real commercial light truck.”

If you tell the truth, this is the comment that mobilized this follow -up article. This is a perfect critic in my eyes. Excavating in individual markets, it is difficult to see how this will be successful for Tesla. Include the key elements of the Tesla brand and which Tesla vehicles usually appeal, and it is even more difficult to see how the cheaper models will prove to be a huge hit. Although, perhaps there is still a market for people who love the brand for cheap teslas, but still cannot increase their financing for Model 3 or Model Wi.

“Regarding the need not to be paid for the sale of Model 3/Y – I think it’s indispensable.

“For a long time (especially when launched 3), people were talking about making ‘Tesla continuously’ – due to low costs and overall lifetime costs, they spent more than spending folk to get Tesla, etc.

“I am not sure how many ‘Tesla stretch’ are still making (due to the brand’s reputation, partially increasing the low -cost alternatives – especially outside the United States) – but no form of ‘cheap’ Tesla will improve their ‘Tesla continuous’ sales.

Good point! Tesla is currently struggling with the fact that sales of its existing models are decreasing. If not for a regulatory credit (after which Trump is going), the company will not see a quarterly profit this year. If Tesla releases new, affordable models, the company’s money will already be struggling to return to them, but beyond, this model 3 and model Wii can put even more serious dentures in sales – which can lead to the company’s real crisis! Hmmm….

“Ojibik” maybe it’s better than me:

“If Tesla still can’t make money in selling model YS and 3S, how can it potentially earn any money in small SUV and hatch’s hypertensive classes?

“With regulatory credit and Tesla’s revenue statement, except for the incentive of 7,500, and the Bitcoin Gain will be recorded in the second quarter of 2025 except Tesla, it is clear that the company is losing money.

“There was a time when Tesla presented 30,000 models S and X jointly at the quarter. Now, including a cyber truck, it is struggling to supply 10,000. Selling 30,000 models S and X generates 100,000-130,000 ‘cheap’ models.

“Tesla has lost the race to become the world’s largest manufacturer. The next few years will be brutal, and only a healthy P&L statement will ensure its survival.”

Oh, yes, and I forgot about BitCoin’s profits! Tesla is really struggling with the sale of its basic model as matters. Isn’t the company’s current model sales goals and some cheap models a serious threat to financial needs?

And on this last line, I think when there was a window when Tesla could issue a cheap model, perhaps the model 3/y production was not increased so much, and it was much more sales – while it is very difficult for other car makers to compare it in this regard. But it has been a long time and BYD, along with some followers, is now clearly moving the world in this regard. It seems that Tesla is just a little satisfied at the wrong time, or maybe there may have been overwhelmed by her robotics projects for many years.

Three months ago, under our article jumping on this comment on cheap “incoming” teslas, “SLM” wrote:

“I believe that the days of Tesla’s glory are behind them who are now for the following reasons:

1. Although Mr. Musk is a person who is short. Once he gets out of the spotlight, it will be more neutral about it in a few years. So I think his personality is not a long -term aspect of Tesla.
2. Tesla’s mantra promise is over and under delivery, there is only time that a company can say ‘within a year …’. FSD and Electric Sammy, just to name two.
3. The Tesla charging network, which mostly agrees on the quality of EV charging in the United States, is now open to non -Tesla.
4. Tesla must have two models: Model 3 and Model Wi. The two have been going on for a few years.
5. Ever since Tesla announced a cyber truck and its original sale, BYD produced 47 new models.
6. Chinese EV has two deadly features. They are cheap and seemingly good.
7. China makes two of every three EVs in the world, these vehicles are in the same voice in China, Asia, Latin America, the United Kingdom and the European Union as if with no provocative taxes.
8. In the United States, there is a growing amount of good EVs from Legacy Automaches and Scraper Startups to choose me.
9. So the most important thing is that there are many good EV elections and Tesla is no longer a strong competitor.

Very interesting and good points. Tesla is showing slowdown in innovation, slowing down its model lineup, and many other factors are making their competitors more competitive. The company has gained more fame for excessive growth and under -delivering. We will see what these cheap models are… one day… but I think even the tough company fans need surprise that if they become a revolutionary. Model 3, or even Model Wi, did not have much question. However, now, you find that Tesla is trying to brighten the world for a more lovely life than to illuminate the world and to encourage revolution. It may be just me, but as someone who closely, obsessed with the company, since the Model S came out in 2012, I think this is an objective phase of which is Tesla. This is not about bias, it’s about seeing trends – in the company and outside. Is it possible that Tesla launches some revolutionary new models? Yes, that is. However, it is much more likely that Tesla is struggling to find its way after hitting the sales peak in 2023 and then tie down a bit down and down. The competition is now a thousand times better than 2020 or 2023, and Tesla feels more and more as if it disrupted it for a decade than the cool new baby of the block.
