In a move that could shake up the entire global EV market, Tesla is set to unveil its long-awaited affordable electric car – the Model 2 – at the upcoming Robotaxi Event, scheduled for June 14, 2025. According to internal leaks and a cryptic post by Elon Musk on X (formerly Twitter), this new vehicle will start at just $24,990 – significantly cheaper than any Tesla released to date.

Why You Shouldn’t Buy a Tesla Right Now

If you’re considering buying a Model 3 or Model Y, hit the brakes. With a sub-$25,000 price tag, the Model 2 could be up to 35–50% cheaper, while reportedly featuring Tesla’s most advanced technology platform to date, including:

48V electrical architecture for improved efficiency and weight reduction.

Gigacasting and unibody manufacturing, which drastically lower production costs.

Deep integration with Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, perfectly aligned with the upcoming Robotaxi network.

Elon Musk Drops Hints

Elon Musk stirred the pot earlier this week with a mysterious post on X:
“You’ll understand everything on June 14. Production and autonomy, together.”

This strongly suggests that the Model 2 won’t just be an affordable EV – it will also serve as the foundation for Tesla’s long-promised Robotaxi network, a fully autonomous ride-sharing service that’s been in development behind the scenes.

The Robotaxi Event – A Game-Changer?

Tesla’s upcoming event isn’t just another product launch. It’s expected to be a pivotal moment where the company:

Unveils its next-gen EV platform (Gen 3).

Officially introduces the Model 2, a compact hatchback-style vehicle likely built at Giga Texas or the upcoming Gigafactory Mexico.

Launches the long-anticipated Robotaxi service, powered by FSD Version 13.

Global Market Impact

If Tesla truly delivers a $24,990 Model 2, it will immediately put massive competitive pressure on legacy automakers like Toyota, Volkswagen, and BYD – many of whom are still struggling to offer affordable EVs. At the same time, it will:

Accelerate the global shift to electric vehicles, especially in developing markets.

Expand Tesla’s customer base from upper-middle to mainstream consumers.

Waiting 15 Days – A Smart Financial Decision

Given that the Model 2 could fundamentally shift Tesla’s value proposition, waiting just 15 more days is the smartest choice right now. Anyone buying a Tesla today risks rapid depreciation – or simply missing out on a better, cheaper, and more advanced vehicle.
