Tesla Inc (TSLA)

Its really interesting that you can read mixed messages in regards to what Tesla plans to release late this year into early 2025. One article will make it seem like Tesla is releasing its Model 2 and sooner than expected. However the lack of specificity by Musk suggests otherwise. Musk knows how to play the word game so you have to take Musk for what he says while noting what hes not actually saying.
Meanwhile another article will claim that what was actually implied is not a model 2 (or whatever itd been named) but instead lower cost versions of its current fleet of vehicles. Incorporating aspects of the savings created from designs for the model 2 will allow Tesla to charge less for its various current models without the large production investment needed to manufacture the "model 2". Theres a reason for all this confusion and Musk not being straight about his answers on these subjects. My guess is the confusion is purposeful to control potential fallout from such a narrative.
In regards to what Tesla has planned I think Reuters is the most accurate. That said i doubt theyve managed to decrease costs of AI/HW. I believe its the improved designs for how the model 2 was to be manufactured that will be incorporated its other models to reduce manufacturing costs; this is based on other articles ive read. Not the body but some of the components. I also read that there could be removal of some components/features to help drive the price down. This would be good if they removed FSD hardware to help reduce costs and maybe reduce accidents.

'DE-CONTENTED MODEL Y/MODEL 3'
Several analysts took Tesla's remarks that its cheaper models would be built using current platforms and production lines as a sign it had retreated from more ambitious plans for an all-new model that had been expected to cost $25,000.
"We read 'more affordable' as potentially de-contented Model Y/Model 3 versions with improvements in software and AI/hardware capability, but at lower prices," Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas said.
Musk declined to provide details of the more affordable models and instead spent much of the earnings call on Tesla's efforts to diversify its business into AI, humanoid robots and operating a fleet of autonomous vehicles - all based on software and hardware products it has not yet fully developed.
