Tesla’s Affordable Model: Unconfirmed Details and Speculation
Recent coding on Tesla’s website has potentially revealed some details about the company’s upcoming affordable model, including its possible price. Although these details are unconfirmed, they have sparked significant speculation among fans and enthusiasts.
Tesla confirmed a few months ago that it had successfully built the first few test units of the affordable model. CEO Elon Musk later revealed that it would be a stripped-down version of the Model Y with some changes.
A Glimpse of the Affordable Model
The vehicle was recently spotted on roads near Gigafactory Texas, giving us a first look at the changes. The spotted model appears to be a Model Y body with some features from the Model 3. It lacks the light bar found on the new Model Y and instead has headlights similar to those on the Model 3 “Highland.” Other design changes include the absence of a glass roof and new wheels.
Some rumored features of the affordable model include a cheaper, textile interior with fewer flashy features, such as no rear screen, no HEPA system, and manually adjustable second-row air vents.
Coding Reveals Potential Details
The coding on Tesla’s website, discovered by Tesla Newswire on X, appears to reveal some significant details about the new affordable model. According to the coding, the model may be called the “Model Y Standard” and could be priced at $39,990. The coding also lists the following potential features:
- Redesigned front fascia
- Single-part headlights
- Front bumper camera
- No glass roof (noted as a “closed glass roof”)
- 18″ Aperture wheels
- Manually adjustable steering wheel
- Textile décor
- 15.4″ front touchscreen
- No second-row touchscreen
- Manually adjustable air vents in the second row
- No HEPA system
- 75 cu. ft. cargo space
While these details are not confirmed by Tesla, they have generated significant interest and speculation among fans. Some believe that these could be the actual specs and details of the new affordable model, while others think that Tesla might be teasing the community.
The Skepticism Surrounding the Coding
It’s worth noting that Tesla is aware that its fans will scrutinize its website for clues, and the company may be releasing “breadcrumbs” to drive up interest and chatter. The price tag of $39,990 may be a bit high for some, fueling skepticism about the coding.
While we can’t confirm the details, the coding provides an intriguing glimpse into what Tesla’s affordable model might offer. We’ll continue to follow updates and wait for official confirmation from the company.
