Autocar claims the Tesla Model 2 is well along and will enter production next year. Are the rumors true this time?
is one of the most respected news organizations in the automotive space. In a report published on March 15, 2024, it said the Tesla “Model 2” — the long awaited less expensive car from Tesla — will enter production next year. Note that‘s Zach Shahan termed the coming affordable car the “Model 2” as a joke for a while, but Elon Musk eventually replied that itbe called the Model 2. Elon Musk loves letters — Model S, Model X, Model Y.
Two of those sources described the new model as a compact crossover. Tesla sent “requests for quotes,” or invitations for bids, to suppliers for the Redwood model last year and forecast weekly production volume of 10,000 vehicles, two of the sources said. Three sources toldpicked up on was a prediction by the company that 700 million Model 2 cars would be sold over the model’s lifetime.
No powertrain details have been revealed for the Model 2, but it is likely to follow Tesla’s other models and be offered in single- and dual-motor versions, with the potential for high-performance versions to be introduced later on,All predictions from and about Tesla must be qualified by past experience.
Tesla doesn’t seem to have any problems getting permits in Austin and construction there is very quick. Musk has not been firm on a launch timeline for the new car but recently said he is “optimistic” about building the first car late next year. Tesla is said to already be in conversations with parts suppliers for the new car and has acknowledged that its volume growth is expected to slow this year “as our teams work on the launch of the next generation vehicle.” Buthas a very cogent reason why the Model 2 is understood to be Tesla’s primary engineering focus.
