WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump, who's buying a Tesla to show loyalty to company CEO Elon Musk, has had plenty to say about electric vehicles over the years. Most of it is not good. Of course, Trump was once a sharp critic of Musk, too, which is especially notable given how tight the pair are now.

The president spent much of his candidacy bashing electric vehicles. Now he says he’s buying one as a favor to a campaign megadonor.

Tesla has been promising more affordable models as the thing that will help pull it out of its current rut. But a new report out of China (by way of Electrek) suggests that they’re likely to be stripped down Model Ys.

Telsa plans to make a slightly smaller Model Y that costs at least 20 percent less to build than the recently refreshed Model Y.

It’s another Friday, so it’s time for another affordable Tesla rumor. The automaker is now expected to roll out a less expensive EV as soon as later this year , taking the form of a smaller Model Y.
