Tesla is developing three new EVs, but appears to have nixed the second-generation Roadster.<\/p>\n

During the automaker’s 2024 stockholder meeting, which was live-streamed on YouTube<\/a> Thursday, CEO Elon Musk announced three upcoming “amazing” EVs and showed a slide with three vehicles under covers alongside the current Tesla lineup. However, the Roadster was absent.<\/p>\n

The Roadster has now been delayed for more than four years, as it was originally due for a start of production in 2020. Musk has at several times teased rocket tech in the form of a “SpaceX package,” with actual rocket thrusters<\/a>. Tesla began accepting reservations after the Roadster’s 2017 reveal, asking for a $50,000 deposit for the standard version and the full $250,000 price upfront for the Founders Series launch special.<\/p>\n

Musk didn’t go into detail on the new EVs, but said later in the presentation that “figuring out ways to make more affordable vehicles is really the game-changer…we have to make it affordable, that’s essential.” But Tesla has already reportedly shut down one affordable EV. After an April report suggesting that Tesla had nixed its $25,000 Model 2 project<\/a> in favor of robotaxis, Musk announced a Tesla Robotaxi reveal<\/a> for August 8.<\/p>\n

Tesla has also teased the idea of a van<\/a> for a long time, which one of those products appears to be based on the outline. The shape in the bottom lefthand corner has a distinctively van-like profile.<\/p>\n

Musk also said he had just approved a mass-production ramp of the Tesla Semi. The company has said in the past that it depends on battery cell supply<\/a>, and it appears to be plentiful right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
