Tesla's ~$25,000 mass-market model reaches production/sale (on roads) on or before 2024-03-24

Criterion (a ~$25,000 mass-market Tesla reaching production/sale on or before 2024-03-24) is not met. As of the deadline no ~$25,000 Tesla existed in production or on roads; within weeks Reuters reported the project was cancelled outright and the platform repurposed for the Cybercab robotaxi. Musk publicly disputed the 'cancelled' framing ('Reuters is lying'), but even under his own account no such vehicle was in production/on sale by the deadline — the two sides disagree only on future intent, not on the deadline-date fact. resolved_on set to the deadline.

Evidence of what happened

  • Reuters (Apr 5, 2024) reported Tesla cancelled its ~$25,000 mass-market car (internally 'Model 2'/NV9), with Musk directing the team to go all-in on the robotaxi/Cybercab platform instead. No ~$25,000 Tesla reached production or sale by the 2024-03-24 deadline.

    Evidence

  • Follow-up coverage confirming the affordable-car project was shelved and replaced by stripped-down 'Standard' Model 3/Y variants; no dedicated ~$25k model ever entered production or reached roads.
