"On Thursday, Reddit user @Fantastic_Train_7270 posted an image of what may be the vehicle to the Tesla subreddit. The vehicle in the photo is completely undisguised, unlike previous possible sightings, which showed what appeared to be the front and rear of the vehicle covered. There are clear differences between the current Model Y slate and the vehicle in the photo. The rear light bar is missing, and the Tesla logo is not visible from the back."
"Tesla fans are clamoring for the company's long-awaited "more affordable" model. Just look at the GIFs sprawled across X in the last 24 hours. While it's not clear if an unveiling is imminent, a reveal is expected sometime in the fourth quarter, which began in October. Tesla has long teased the possibility of a more affordable electric vehicle. In January, Tesla gave an update, saying that it would start production on new models, "including more affordable models," in the first half of 2025."
"Other fans said they have found evidence of a " Model Y Standard" in the Tesla site's source code, including a possible low-resolution image. The big question is how much the vehicle will cost. The base Model Y costs around $46,000, including delivery fees. In 2020, Elon Musk said to expect a $25,000 vehicle in roughly three years, but that was before the $7,500 EV tax credit now expired."
Online sleuths and social posts suggest a potentially more affordable Tesla vehicle may be near release. Tesla's social account has reacted to posts with GIFs and jokes. An undisguised vehicle photo appeared on Reddit showing clear differences from the Model Y, including a missing rear light bar and no visible Tesla logo. Source code scans reportedly revealed a " Model Y Standard" entry and a possible low-resolution image. Tesla previously said production on new models, including more affordable ones, would start in the first half of 2025, with availability expected in the fourth quarter of 2025. Pricing remains uncertain; the base Model Y runs about $46,000.
