There is speculation it'll be called "Model 2" but other names are definitely possible. I've been calling it Model 2 here, and using that tag: https://manifold.markets/questions?topic=tesla-model-2
YES if it's called Model 2 as the most prominent name, NO if other name. Will extend deadline until we know the name.
If it's not released at all, or morphs into a single other vehicle, we'll go by that name.

The Chinese news site 36kr published a report today about Tesla’s plan to launch a stripped-down version of the Model Y in China. This seems to be the cheaper model Elon has been referring to, which means Tesla doesn’t have a new model to launch after all.

This comment by Elon at the last Annual Shareholder Meeting likely refers to the stripped-down Model Y: "So obviously, we’ve got some new products that we’re working on under the covers, and I think these are going to be pretty special. Some of them, I think people maybe at first may think, "Oh, it’s not going to be that amazing," but just wait. It will be."

"We are still on track to launch a more affordable model in the first half of 2025 and will continue to expand our lineup from there."
So probably just a cheaper "decontented" version of model Y rather than a whole new model. That seem to fit with cancelled redwood project, no prototypes noticed, and the only next generation platform vehicle being the robotaxi. I guess we will see.
Yes Extending the deadline to see what this will be was the right thing to do. (Just don't want it endlessly extended.)
@Ernie
No sign of a model 2. I believe they are currently only planning one next generation platform vehicle the cybercab/robotaxi. I don't think the claim should be left closed but not resolved indefinitely until they do release a model 2, it should be as at the closing date right?
So as of now, it seems to me it is not planned so should resolve no?
