The Standard trims lack premium features like leather seats, a rear touchscreen, and a glass roof, among other features.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/tesla-begins-deliveries-affordable-model-y-standard\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tesla begins deliveries of its affordable Model Y Standard<\/a><\/p>\n<p>These cars are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/tesla-begins-deliveries-affordable-model-y-standard\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">just starting to be delivered for the first time<\/a>, so it is possible that Denholm was referring to these cars.\n<\/p>\n<p>Potential Model 2 Hint?<\/p>\n<p>There has always been a looming vehicle model that many Tesla fans and owners have been intrigued by: the Model 2.\n<\/p>\n<p>This car was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/tesla-affordable-model-2-model-q-test-car-spotted-anew-giga-texas\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hinted at being the $25,000 model<\/a> that Tesla was rumored to be developing, and many thought that was the vehicle that would be released earlier this month, not the Standard Model 3 and Model Y.\n<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the Model 2 could be something that would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/tesla-model-2-production-launch\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">enable Tesla to reach an entirely new consumer base<\/a>, including those who are not able to swing the payment for the company\u2019s more premium offerings.\n<\/p>\n<p>It seems Tesla will have to launch some sort of extremely affordable model in the future, and with the Cybercab being slotted at that rough price point, it would not be out of the question for it to be in the realm of possibility for future releases.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting, however, that it is probably unlikely this will happen. Tesla is so deadset focused on autonomy, it seems Cybercab would take extreme precedence over the unconfirmed \u201cModel 2.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Cybertruck-inspired SUV<\/p>\n<p>Tesla fans have been begging the company to develop a full-size SUV that would compete with the Ford Expedition or Chevrolet Tahoe, but the company has not given any indication that this would be something it would build.\n<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, there was a very subtle hint in a recent promotional clip that showed a Cyber SUV mock-up placed strategically next to a clay model of a Model 3:\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/tesla-appears-mulling-cyber-suv-design\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tesla appears to be mulling a Cyber SUV design<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Model X is simply <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/tesla-gives-big-hint-build-cyber-suv-smaller-cybertruck\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">not what people want when it comes to an SUV<\/a>, as it does not have the seating capacity\u00a0and cargo space that many need with a full-sized SUV.<\/p>\n<p>This issue, in particular, has been one that has been extremely relevant to the company\u2019s future lineup <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/tesla-missing-full-size-suv-lineup-fans-want-it\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">as consumers have shown they would be interested in a Tesla vehicle that fit this description<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, von Holzhausen said in September that a Cyber SUV or a smaller electric pickup with a more traditional design is \u201cdefinitely things we\u2019ve considered\u2026We\u2019re working on so many innovative and fun things.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/tesla-gives-big-hint-build-cyber-suv-smaller-cybertruck\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tesla gives big hint that it will build Cyber SUV, smaller Cybertruck<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tesla Board Chair Robyn Denholm hinted the company could see \u201ca few more vehicles\u201d coming out and being&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27681,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133,1492,483,19048,10020],"class_list":{"0":"post-27680","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-austin","8":"tag-austin","9":"tag-austin-headlines","10":"tag-austin-news","11":"tag-featured","12":"tag-tesla","13":"tag-tesla-robotaxi","14":"tag-waymo"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27680"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27680\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
