Tesla executives suggest that the "cheap version" electric vehicle will be launched in the future

Driving China September 15, 2022, according to foreign media reports, Martin Viecha, director of the Tesla investor relationship, recently hinted at the Goldman Sachs Science and Technology Conference held in San Francisco that Tesla will launch a self -driving taxi ( Before the Robotaxi) service, or launch a cheaper electric car first.

Martin Viecha said: The reason why there is such a plan is because Musk's "embarrassment" of the current price of Tesla electric vehicles, so Tesla will launch more cheap electric vehicle products for more vast markets and consumers. Essence At the same time, Martin Viecha also said at the meeting that Model Y will become the best -selling car in the world next year.

However, with the inflation, the cost of battery materials has risen and strong demand. In the past two years, the price of Tesla's entire electric vehicle product series has risen sharply. At present, Tesla's cheapest model starts at US $ 46,000 in the United States, while Tesla's most popular model Model Y starts up to $ 66,000.

However, Musk said that once inflation is stable, the price of Tesla electric vehicles will be reduced. Earlier, he also mentioned the launch of a Tesla electric vehicle with a price of $ 25,000, but in order to support other Tesla projects, he temporarily put on this project.

In addition, VIECHA did not specify the release time of Tesla's cheaper electric models, but only said that it would be released before its autonomous taxi service was launched, but considering that Tesla's autonomous driving taxi service project has been postponed, how much has been postponed? Second-rate. Therefore, the cheap Tesla model is still far away.
