The price point of 11,795 dollars is making many people pause.
Is this the moment when Tesla truly brings EVs to the mass market?
When Elon Musk declares that Model 2 is a “people’s car,” the question is no longer “how beautiful is it” but “how do they make it happen.”
Inside, the cockpit is described as a “shocking interior,” not because it looks strange, but because it removes almost everything we are used to seeing in a car.
No buttons, no instrument cluster, no traditional control stack.
Will the driving experience remain intuitive or become unfamiliar?
In parallel, the phrase “Free Starlink” raises another set of questions.
How free is it in practice?
How does it perform in weak coverage areas, and is this Musk’s way of expanding his satellite network through EV users themselves?
When these 2 elements come together, an ultra minimal interior and free satellite connectivity, are we looking at a tech experiment or the inevitable direction of affordable electric cars?
Step into the cockpit and Tesla Model 2 impresses with an extremely compact philosophy.
All interactions revolve around a roughly 15.4 inch central screen.
This display consolidates speed, battery status, climate, maps, and guidance in a spot that is easy to glance at, helping the driver of Tesla Model 2 reduce distraction.
In the rear, Tesla Model 2 still cares about passengers with an approximately 8 inch screen so they can adjust temperature, seat heating, and entertainment content on their own.
Separating the front and rear touch points keeps the dashboard surface clean and reduces “fighting for controls,” which is especially helpful in the first days of getting used to Tesla Model 2.
