SAN FRANCISCO/NEW DELHI/SEOUL April 18 (Reuters) - Tesla’s long-awaited plans for an affordable car include a U.S-made, stripped-down version of its best-selling electric SUV, the Model Y, but the production launch has been delayed, three sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.

Tesla (TSLA.O) has promised affordable vehicles beginning in the first half of the year, providing a potential boost to flagging sales. Global production of the lower-cost Model Y, internally codenamed E41, is expected to begin in the United States, the sources said. That would occur at least a few months later than outlined in Tesla’s public plan, they added, offering a range of revised targets from the third quarter to early next year.

How do you strip a car down that's held together with super glue.

While Tesla is now and forever dead to me. I would love an EV without the surveilance, self steering, self braking etc...

I want an EV that only I control, not run by some fascists software updates. Autodrive isn't something that frees you from the burden of driving, its control over where when and how you go anywhere. Its control marketed as convenience.

Give me the dumbest EV possible. It should also be cheaper to produce.
