Conversation: Tesla reveals slightly cheaper ‘standard’ versions of the Model 3 and Model Y Crunch

A: Yo, Sakura-chan! Guess what? Tesla finally revealed their more affordable models!

B: No way, for real? What's the price like?

A: The Model 3 sedan and the Model Y SUV start at $36,990 and $39,990, respectively. They have fewer features though, like no Autopilot or second-row touchscreen.

B: Wow, that's still not as cheap as some people expected, right? I remember Elon Musk once talked about a $25,000 Tesla...

A: Yeah, you're right! It's not as low as he teased before. The new cars are more different on the inside too - less features and even no FM radio or heated seats for the back passengers!

B: That's crazy! But at least they'll sell it in Europe. I wonder how many will buy it here in Japan...

A: Right, and with some big automakers holding off on their expensive electric vehicles, there might be less competition for Tesla. But Musk got involved with the second Trump administration earlier this year, so who knows how that'll affect things?

B: Oh boy, what a mess! Well, let's wait and see how it all plays out. Maybe they'll release more affordable models in the future.

A: Definitely, let's keep an eye on it! 😜
