We can confirm that the "Tesla Model 2" or "$25,000 Tesla" is indeed scrapped for now. Elon denied the original report from Reuters presumably because they mentioned the words "canceled" and "scrapped" and you can argue that it is "postponed" instead, but effectively, nothing is happening right now and for a while. The project was codenamed NV9. Tesla was working on a Giga Texas expansion for it, but it has been scrapped. The focus is now on a giant data center for Tesla's self-driving effort.

@FredericLambert @ElectrekCo Well, I don’t know about you, but the meaning of "cancelled" is REALLY different from "postponed."
@FredericLambert @ElectrekCo Robotaxi and Model 2 are basically the same car so I don't get your point.
@FredericLambert @ElectrekCo So what? What’s wrong with taking an informed business decision based in non-public knowledge ?
@FredericLambert @ElectrekCo Oh the media does not have any responsabiliry, he attacks the media, not the other way around? Cmon! Your latest articles all bashing, if NV9 is not cancelled, then he is right. This looks like a hit piece.
