According to CTOnews.com on January 30, Tesla has confirmed that a new platform is being developed, but there is no exact information yet. Tesla will release the latest information about the next-generation vehicle platform at the Investor Day event on March 1, Insideevs reported.

Foreign media speculate that the platform will produce electric cars with a smaller size than Model 3 and Model Y, and the vehicle cost will be reduced by half. There were also rumors that the new model, which is smaller than the Model 3 and Model Y, may be named "Model Q" and will be priced at about $25000 (currently about 169000 yuan). The main competitors of the same class include BYD dolphin, Xiaopeng P5 and other models.

In this regard, the relevant person in charge of Tesla told Red Star News: "this is false news."

It is worth mentioning that at the third-quarter earnings meeting of 2022, Musk revealed that "the size of the next generation of models will be smaller than the Model 3 currently on sale, and the cost will be half that of the existing platform."

Martin Martin Viecha, head of investor relations at Tesla, explained: "if a company wants to produce more, it needs a product portfolio that covers more audiences, and Tesla needs to provide cheaper car products before the company's self-driving taxi service goes online.

"as Tesla's integrated die-casting technology, CTC technology and 4680 batteries mature, as well as the production of more electric vehicles in the new plant, the production cost per car will be less than $36000, which will help improve the company's profitability," Visa said.

CTOnews.com found that Musk confirmed as early as September 2020 that he would launch a smaller model than the Model 3 in the future. In addition, the output of electric cars based on the new platform will be higher than that of all other models combined.

"Tesla's Q4 financial report for 2022: revenue of US $24.3 billion increased by 37%, net profit of US $3.7 billion increased by 59%, and car delivery of 405278 vehicles increased by 31% over the same period last year."
