Tesla CEO Elon Musk has refuted reports claiming that the company is abandoning its plans for a $25,000 electric vehicle, leaving some executives bewildered as internal communications had hinted at the project's termination. Initially, Musk announced that Tesla would pivot to an artificial intelligence company, focusing on autonomous taxis and humanoid robots, and shelving the Model 2 project. Despite later denying this shift, the Model 2 project remains absent from Tesla's official roadmap.
