"We Don't Need No Stinking New Models!" —Tesla - CleanTechnica

The article discusses Tesla's current strategy of not introducing new mass-market vehicle models since the Model Y launch in March 2020, aside from the Cybertruck, which has struggled in sales. Instead of expanding its lineup, Tesla has focused on incremental updates to existing models like the Model 3 and Model Y, including minor design refreshes and regional variations such as a six-passenger Model Y in China and cost-reduced versions in the US and Europe. A rumored affordable $25,000 Tesla model was reportedly canceled by Elon Musk, who is now prioritizing autonomous vehicle technology and humanoid robots over new car models. Industry analysts express concern that Tesla’s limited product lineup and aging models could hurt its long-term growth and customer loyalty. Tesla’s lack of new model introductions contrasts with traditional automakers who regularly redesign vehicles every several years to maintain market interest. Critics argue Tesla risks declining sales as its core models age and fail to address segments like three-row SUVs, which are significant in the US market.
