Musk: "I Am Releasing $1000 Tesla E-Bike Today!"

Musk's revolutionary announcement of the $1,000 Tesla E-Bike, which has sent shockwaves throughout the world. Tesla, famed for pushing the boundaries in the automotive and energy industries, is now entering the electric bike industry with a model that promises to revolutionise urban travel. This Tesla E-Bike, priced at $1,000, defies industry norms and puts competitors such as Harley-Davidson, Yamaha, and BMW on notice, forcing them to respond. Musk's ambition for a greener, more efficient method of transportation is obvious, and the E-Bike may be the future of commuting.

As Tesla enters the electric bike business, existing players face stiff competition. Brands such as Specialized and Trek, who have long controlled the e-bike market, must now compete with Tesla's advanced technology and unbelievable price. The Tesla E-Bike's sleek form and high-tech features distinguish it from competitors, using Tesla's cutting-edge battery technology and environmentally beneficial technologies. In the video, we also look at how this new addition may affect the larger electric vehicle market, including companies like Rad Power Bikes, as well as the long-term viability of sustainable mobility.

I like it but it's now what I expected.
I thought it would be a smaller bike that could easily be carried into an urban apartment or office.
Huge fan Elon! Keep the world on its toes. ;)
 
I can't believe that either of those are $1000.

Seems like the post doesn't pass the credibility test.

Musk may be releasing a $1000 bike, but not one of those pictured.
 
Well in reality, like most things, there’s only a couple hundred dollars in materials in that thing so could likely still make a small profit. Good way to break into the market by selling so cheap.
 
Elon could surprise us with some new manufacturing techniques. Maybe a giga casting of the main structure.
Who knows what he might have up his sleeve. I doubt it could cost $1L initially, but maybe once at scale it could be
profitable. The Cyber truck has already covered its cost of production and is now at scale production, and by most accounts is a runaway success. I learned not to bet against Elon but with him years ago.
 
more info. Cut and paste would not work so you have to visit the link.

 
I watched every video and some others I could find. I still don't see how this as a "break though" in daily intra community commuting. You are still open to the elements. So except for southern Ca and Florida, how does this help the average American, who drives 10 to 20 miles a day, guy get to work?

In my late 20's and early thirties, I rode a Suzuki to work year round. Snowmobile outfit in winter, rain gear in spring summer and fall. Few women will do it and I certainly, at 77 years old, not do it today.
 
A modern e-bike is pretty much equivalent to an entry level low cc motorcycle these days. The e-bike range is probably not as good but the performance is pretty close.
