"The first video, published at 3:05 a.m. ET on Sunday, showed a spinning vehicle piece. What part the video depicts remains unclear; fans have speculated everything from a wheel cover to an electric jet turbine. Jokes abound. One user replied, "Finally the new Tesla Frisbee will be released." Tesla responded with the bull's-eye emoji. The second video was published at 9:10 p.m. ET on Sunday. It shows two Tesla headlights shining through the darkness."
"One popular guess in the comments of both teasers was Tesla's long-awaited cheaper vehicle, which is expected to be a stripped-down Model Y. In July, Tesla's vice president of vehicle engineering, Lars Moravy, said that the company expects the new vehicle, which would resemble the Model Y, would be "available for everyone" in the fourth quarter of 2025. Last week, online chatter about the "more affordable" vehicle reached a fever pitch. One Reddit user posted what appeared to be the vehicle spotted driving in the wild; another Tesla fan found what they said were mentions of the vehicle in the Tesla website's code."
Tesla posted two teaser videos on X; one of the videos included a date of 10/7. The first video, released at 3:05 a.m. ET, showed a spinning vehicle component whose identity remains unclear. The second video, released at 9:10 p.m. ET, showed two headlights cutting through darkness. Commenters speculated the teasers could preview a lower-cost, stripped-down Model Y that Tesla expects to make available for everyone in Q4 2025. Online sightings, alleged website code references, and influencer visits to Austin amplified launch rumors. Some observers suggested the spinning piece might be a downward-draft electric turbine for a redesigned Roadster.
