Following reports of the cancellation of Tesla's $25,000 mass-market vehicle, CEO Elon Musk denied the claims and announced plans to unveil a robotaxi in 2024, sparking speculation that both projects could be related. Tesla's Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen also cast doubt on the cancellation reports, advising people to "stay tuned" and not always believe what they read. The original Reuters report alleged that messages to suppliers and a manager's message indicated the cancellation, while Tesla has been rolling out its Full Self-Driving v12 software and will hold its Q1 2024 earnings call on April 23.
Elon Musk announced that Tesla will unveil a robotaxi on August 8, following a report by Reuters claiming the company scrapped plans for a low-cost EV. Musk disputed the report, stating that Reuters was lying and confirming the robotaxi unveiling. Tesla has been promising a more affordable EV, but Musk's recent announcement suggests a shift in focus towards robotaxis. The company's decision to rely on a camera-only system for its vehicles, while dropping radar and other sensors, raises questions about the feasibility of its robotaxi plans.
Elon Musk accused Reuters of "lying" after it reported that Tesla had scrapped plans for a low-cost car, causing Tesla's stock to drop.

The price competition is particularly intense in the Chinese market, where domestic manufacturers are offering EVs for as low as $10,000.
Gannett and McClatchy, two major American newspaper chains, are scaling back their relationships with The Associated Press, with Gannett planning to stop using A.P. articles, photos, and videos in its publications and McClatchy also reducing its use of A.P. services.
