Elon Musk promises a $25,000, fully autonomous Tesla 'about 3 years from now'
"We're confident that long term, we can design and manufacture a compelling $25,000 electric vehicle," Musk said — a statement met with honks from an audience sitting in rows of parked Teslas.
"This has always been our dream, from the beginning of the company," he continued. "I even wrote a blog piece about it, because our first car was an expensive sports car, then a slightly less expensive sedan, and then finally, sort of a mass-market [model] like the Model 3 and Model Y." Musk added that the car is about three years away, and that it would be "fully autonomous." But it should be noted that Musk's claims about autonomy and timelines in general have a habit of falling behind schedule.
