A Tesla for 25,000 euros in 2025 with a bit of… Q?

What if Tesla finally decided to launch a true electric revolution more by price than by technology with the Model Q?

We’re talking about a compact, affordable Tesla, announced for the first half of 2025. Its goal? Democratize electric vehicles by combining Tesla-designed aesthetics and cutting-edge technology, all for a price that could be around 25,000 euros, after all applicable subsidies.

“Low-cost” model or clever recycling?

According to our colleagues at GlobalChinaEV, always well-informed, the internal project called “Redwood” would be based on a new platform designed to cut costs without sacrificing effectiveness. But essentially, the Model Q might just be a lightweight version of the Model 3, with simplified material choices and features to lower the price.

Some propose a bolder theory. What if the Model Q was merely a modified version of Tesla’s Robotaxi, with the addition of a steering wheel and pedals to appeal to those not yet ready to completely relinquish control?

Tesla, promises… and doubts

On paper, all this sounds enticing. But some perspective is needed because it’s not the first time Tesla has promised us a low-cost electric car. The idea was already on the table in 2018, and since then, there’s been nothing on the horizon. So yes, we want to believe, but repeated delays and postponed announcements cast doubt.

If the Model Q finally comes to fruition, it could seriously disrupt the affordable EV market and give a major boost to the electric transition. But Tesla is taking a big gamble because between customer expectations and investor demands, any disappointment could be costly.

So, revolution or mirage? The answer in 2025… with a little Q, we’ve already told you.
