The NEW Affordable Tesla is a Shorter Model Y
After Tesla's Q2 2025 earnings call, Elon Musk's comment that the new affordable model is "a Model Y" sent shockwaves through the community, leading to frustration and confusion. Many now believe Tesla's next big vehicle is just a cheaper, stripped-down trim of the current Model Y.In this video, I'll break down why I believe that's wrong.
I'll argue that Tesla isn't just removing features from the Model Y. Instead, they are launching a new model on the same platform: a shorter wheelbase Model Y. This move, combined with the recently revealed longer "Model Y L" in China, points to a brilliant 3-tier product strategy, much like Apple's iPhone lineup (Standard, Pro, Pro Max).
Join me as I connect the dots and explain my theory on the "Model Y S" (Short), how Tesla can make it significantly cheaper, and why this is a genius move to maximize their existing production lines, expand their market, and navigate the end of the US federal tax credit.
Topics Covered in this Video:
- Elon Musk's controversial Q2 earnings call comment.
- The flaw in the "cheaper trim" argument.
- My Theory: The Model Y S (Short), Model Y (Standard), and Model Y L (Long).
