CTOnews.com December 6 news, Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently said that Tesla has made great progress in developing a $25000 (CTOnews.com Note: Currently about 179,000 yuan) electric car after shelving the project.

In an interview with automotive engineer Sandy Munro, Musk said Tesla has made significant progress on its low-cost electric vehicle project, which will be produced at very high volumes. Musk revealed that he reviews plans for the production line weekly and believes the manufacturing revolution the car will represent will be shocking.

Musk said back in 2020 that Tesla began preparing to produce a low-cost electric car and expected it to be launched within three years. However, in January 2022 Musk told Tesla investors: "We haven't developed the $25,000 car yet, we'll do that at some point in the future, but we've got enough on our plate right now." "

When talking to Monroe, Musk initially declined to provide specifics on the project, saying that if he did, Tesla would have to figure out how the new car would affect its future earnings. But he hinted that the low-cost model would involve an entirely new car production line, which would significantly reduce the cost of manufacturing electric vehicles. Musk said: "This is a production technology level far beyond any car factory on Earth. He added: "The first product will be produced at a super plant in Texas, and then the company plans to expand production to a second plant in Mexico. "

Musk also mentioned that Tesla's Cybertruck program has been repeatedly delayed due to global chip shortages. Although Cybertruck has already started delivery, Musk said he can't predict the production of the model in the short term, but expects the car to account for a small proportion of Tesla sales next year. Tesla has received more than one million pre-orders for Cybertruck, which starts at $60990.
