The new Tesla model and Elon Musk's promises are mocked online

The long-awaited Tesla Cybercab was presented as the company's cheapest model. Many people were looking forward to this electric car, but the taxi did not live up to expectations. And Elon Musk's loud promises caused ridicule online.

Many people were skeptical of the information announced at the presentation. The event even announced the price of Tesla Cybercab – up to $30,000, and the cars are expected to hit the roads in 2026. Motor1 readers ridiculed Elon Musk and his promises in the comments.

Thus, the network noted that 2026 will actually turn into 2030. And the price of $30,000 will increase dramatically – up to $60,000. And someone noted that even such assumptions are too optimistic. People did not believe the loud statements.

The memories of the scandalous launch of the Tesla Cybertruck are still fresh in our minds. Four years passed between the announcement and the start of production of the electric pickup. Against this background, the promise to open a taxi assembly line in 2026 does not seem realistic.

In 2019, Musk promised a price of up to $40,000 for the Cybertruck pickup during a presentation. Today, the company sells the production model at a minimum price of $100,000. A new minimum for the electric car was announced at $80,000, but this promise was also abandoned.
