Cheap canceled Tesla, 1,000 horsepower Aston Martin SUV, future Audi Q9.

This week, many rumors have spread on the Internet. Between rumors and almost official declarations, it is not always easy to separate truth from lies. Let’s take this opportunity to revisit the case of Tesla, which might have canceled its plan to release an affordable model, Aston Martin who would be developing a 1,000 horsepower SUV or even Audi who would soon release the 7-seater Q9.

As always, some rumors pique our curiosity, while others insist that they are credible. This is the case of Tesla, which according to increasingly frequent rumors, has abandoned the idea of ​​making a cheap car, in favor of an autonomous model. More interestingly, it is said that Aston Martin is currently working on a new SUV, whose power could be close to 1,000 horsepower. Finally, Audi is reportedly considering launching a new 7-seater SUV on the market, the Q9.

No cheap Tesla but an autonomous car instead

With Tesla, Elon Musk has always wanted to make electric cars accessible to as many people as possible. It must be said that many manufacturers are making this choice, such as Renault with its R5 E-Tech or many Chinese brands. So the Tesla Model 2 project, offered at a price of around 20,000 to 25,000 euros, seemed to make sense.. A portion of the profits from the sale of more advanced models was to be used to finance the project.

But according to several anonymous sources, The major power company would eventually abandon the project. The Tesla boss defended himself by calling these media liars about X, but did not deny the comments made. He also announced that The delivery of the Tesla Robotaxi (autonomous taxi) would take place at the beginning of Augustwhich may explain the omission of Model 2.

Aston Martin SUV with 1,000 horse power

Aston Martin’s first SUV, the DBX, had some success, which logically explains why the British manufacturer continues on this path. But in order not to deviate from the law (or rather from European restrictions), Aston Martin is reportedly working on a 100% electric SUV.

Considering the weight of these behemoths, such power is required. And to get it, rumors indicate that it will be an SUV it would use an electric car architecture developed by AMG, located under the hood of Mercedes’ future electric SUV. This 800V platform, developed for the latter, would develop more than a thousand horsepower, transmitted to four-wheel drive.

Audi Q9 for the whole family by 2026

Riding the SUV wave, but most of all keeping up with the competition, Audi plans to release a large family SUV called the Q9. So it would offer 7 real seats, unlike its current Q7 which only offers 5, while BMW and Mercedes have already invested in that segment for some time.

Rumors talk about the release in 2025, why it will be one of the latest fuel models from the brand with four rings. We still don’t know what kind of engine would be under the hood of this futuristic model, but as a reminder, Audi has emphasized its desire to produce a 100% electric fleet by 2033.
