CTOnews.com April 4 news, according to 36 krypton reports, learned from a number of industry sources, Tesla plans to launch a low-cost model, this model positioning "small Model Y", the annual production capacity of up to 4 million vehicles, half of which will be produced in North America, the other half will be shared equally in Germany and China.

Concept Tudesla CEO Musk revealed in 2020 that the company was developing its own battery technology to make a $25000 self-driving electric car possible. In March this year, Lars Moravy, chief engineer of Tesla, also said that the company hopes to build "next-generation" cars at half the cost of the current Model 3 or Model Y.

If Tesla cut the current cost by half to produce cars, it would mean that the price of the new product would drop to 150000 yuan or less. However, according to the report, according to the progress of the construction of the factory, the mass production of the "150000 yuan model" may not come soon. "it will take at least more than a year," a source said. "

If Tesla can achieve this goal, it will have a great impact on the market. At present, it is difficult for most new car companies at home and abroad to make a profit in the market below 200000 yuan. Tesla has a number of technological innovation and cost optimization means, such as streamlining the electronic and electrical architecture, the use of integrated die-casting, self-research chips and so on. In particular, Mexican factories will adopt the "Plego" manufacturing method to greatly improve production efficiency and space utilization, and reduce production costs.

Tesla's goal is to sell 20 million electric vehicles a year by 2030, and this low-cost model may be the key to that goal.

As of the release of CTOnews.com, Tesla has not responded to this yet.
