Tesla Reportedly Cancels Inexpensive Car Project, Tesla’s Master Plan, Part Deux, Friday Q&A

Today's Above Avalon Daily email covers the following topics:

  • Tesla Reportedly Cancels Inexpensive Car Project

  • Tesla’s Master Plan, Part Deux

  • Friday Q&A

We kick things off with my thought’s on Reuters’ article regarding Tesla cancelling its Model 2 project. The discussion then revisits Elon Musk’s revised master plan for Tesla from the mid-2010s. The update concludes with a Friday Q&A and the following questions:

  • Were Project Titan’s cancellation and the in-house microLED displays team disbandment driven by cost-cutting motives as revenue stagnates?

  • Why can’t Apple build a battery-powered HomePod or HomePod mini for portable use cases?

  • Do you think it will take years for Apple Vision Pro to become a meaningful contribution to Apple’s revenue story?

  • Why didn’t Apple launch Apple Vision Pro with a larger catalog of Apple Immersive Video films?
