Part 8/14:
The Shift in Vehicle Platform Development
Tesla's next-generation vehicle platform is expected to support multiple form factors. While initially envisioned to produce various models, recent reports suggest a strategic shift towards creating an optimized robo taxi platform, possibly reducing or postponing plans for a mass-market, $25,000 car. Elon Musk’s comments indicate that internal resources and investments are now heavily focused on autonomous software, with specific vehicle types like the $25,000 model possibly on the back burner.
