It’s been a while since Tesla gave a long-awaited makeover to its Model 3 EV, and followed it with the introduction of an updated Model Y in its home market. However, the company’s rumored plans for a more affordable SUV that will be assembled in the US have reportedly run into a delay.  According to Reuters, Tesla was hoping to assemble nearly a quarter million units of its cheaper Model Y variant in 2026. The goalpost has now been shifted, and there is no clarity regarding a revised market launch plans for the vehicle, which is said to be in development under the codename E41. . Recommended Videos “Global production of the lower-cost Model Y, internally codenamed E41, is expected to begin in the United States, the sources said. That would occur at least a few months later than outlined in Tesla’s public plan, they added, offering a range of revised targets from the third quarter to early next year,” says the report.  Related Christian de Looper / Digital Trends The watered-down Model Y variant will reportedly have a smaller footprint and is touted to sell at a 20% lower sticker price. For comparison, the Long Range All-Wheel Drive (AWD) trim of the Model Y currently goes for $41,490 in the US, after applying the federal tax credit worth $7,500 in the US.  Based on the report, the upcoming car could be priced a hair under the $40,000 mark before tax credits are put into the mix. With an asking price like that, Tesla would would put itself in direct competition with the likes of Hyundia, Kia, Chevrolet, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Ford.  Notably, Tesla is said to have ramped up local sourcing of parts in the past few quarters, which means if the company moves ahead with plans of mass manufacturing the Model Y “E41” variant, the impact of tariff won’t be felt as much. However, the situation remains volatile as Tesla has seen a sharp decline recently.  Christian de Looper / Digital Trends The company’s market share slid below 50% for 2025’s first quarter in California, one of the biggest EV markets in the country. “An aging product lineup and backlash against Elon Musk’s political initiatives are likely key factors for the decline in Tesla BEV market share,” the California New Car Dealers Association said about the slump.  In addition to a stripped down Model Y, the carmarker is currently occupied with its Cyber Cab project. Interestingly, the Reuters report mentions that Tesla is also working on “a bare-bones version of its Model 3.” The company was recently said to be working on an affordable EV that could cost as little as $25,000, but those plans have been shelved, for now.  Editors’ Recommendations

After a sojourn around the globe for a second volume of international animation, Star Wars: Visions is returning to Japan for another volume of anime-centric adventures. So it’s perhaps fitting then, that Lucasfilm just gave us our first look at the latest anthology right out of Star Wars Celebration Japan. Today in Tokyo, Lucasfilm lifted the lid on the first teaser for Visions Volume 3 to gathered fans at Star Wars Celebration. The latest volume will feature tales created by nine Japanese animation studios, each reflecting their own unique perspective and vision for the galaxy far, far away–including some returning stories, building on episodes from the first volume. The latest batch of studios working on Visions features a mix of both new talent and those who already worked on episodes for Vision‘s landmark debut season. Returning studios include Kamikaze Douga (Batman Ninja), which developed the incredibly popular short “The Duel” that introduced us to the ex-Sith Ronin; Trigger (Promare, Gridman, Kill La Kill, Dynazenon, and much more), which worked on both “The Twins” and “The Elder;” and Production I.G. (Ghost in the Shell, to say the least), which created “The Ninth Jedi;”Made in Abyss), which worked on “The Village Bridge.” Three of those shorts will get sequels, “The Duel: Payback”, “The Village Bride: The Lost Ones”, and “The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope”. But a roster of new studios are also joining. Kamikaze Douga will work with Anima (.Hack, Sandland) on its sequel, but standalone newcomers include David Production (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure); Wit Studio (Attack on Titan, Spy x Family); Polygon Pictures (Transformers Prime, Tron: Uprising, and best known in Star Wars for support work on Clone Wars and Resistance); and Project Studio Q (an CG house born from Evangelion and Gundam GQuuuuuuX studio Khara after its work on Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time). Star Wars: Visions returns to Disney+ for Volume 3 on October 29. Want more io9 news?

Café with a Large Tree in the Middle of Town / Kazuto Nishi Architects + toitdesignSave this picture!© Masahiro Terada Architects: Kazuto Nishi Architects, toitdesign Area Area of this architecture project Area:  221 m² Year Completion year of this architecture project Year:  2025 Photographs Photographs:Masahiro TeradaMore SpecsLess Specs Save this picture! Text description provided by the architects. This is a plan for a café that will be built in the middle of town and open to the local community. The client wanted to create a place where local people can easily visit and improve their own brand through this building. The construction site is in the middle of the hustle and bustle of a regional city lined with large facilities, in a chaotic corner of the town where commercial and industrial atmospheres mix together. In this somewhat cold, dry urban environment that lacks naturalness, the architect thought that architecture with the strength to express its existence as it is could create a lively state and place in this place.Save this picture!The architecture embodies the pleasant feeling of being in a forest and the strength of trees. Specifically, the main structure is constructed of wood, and the structural framework and strength-bearing members are left as much as possible uncovered, and the plan was made so that they would live as the facade, creating an architecture that resembles a collection of large trees with large branches and leaves in the middle of an artificial town.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Entering the building from the entrance, the ceiling is covered with a powerful structure like the large branches supporting a large tree. Aside from the wood, the background is a monotone of white and gray, enhancing the abstraction of the structural frame. Upon going up to the second floor, the branches become more subdivided and lighter.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!By derailing the architecture from the somewhat commercially uniform design code of this place and reinterpreting it as part of the natural environment, we have created a space where visitors can spend a more natural and relaxed time. The use of wood also has a meaning other than simply creating space. By actively using wood, the "act of construction" itself becomes a new demand for forest resources in urban areas that already benefit from forests, and becomes part of the "wood cycle." Carbon, which is the source of carbon dioxide, is fixed in wood.Save this picture!As long as the wood remains in the wooden building, the building itself can be considered a second forest, an urban forest, in terms of carbon storage as well. We planned this building with the hope that it will become a starting point for thinking about the nature of architecture for the next generation, the relationship between business and society, and the relationship between people, cities, and nature – all of these connections.Save this picture!
