Tesla's anticipated launch of affordable electric vehicles by June remains uncertain as the month wraps up. These budget EVs, potentially priced around $30,000 and rumored to be named Model 2, Model Q, or Model A, are critical to Tesla's strategy amid declining sales globally. The company recognized the importance of these models, citing economic challenges and potential policy shifts affecting EV adoption. As Tesla ramps up production of existing models at its factories, questions linger about how recent developments like the robotaxi launch in Austin might impact the introduction of these new offerings.
"The models that come out in the next months will resemble in form and shape the cars that we currently make," Lars Moravy, Tesla's VP of vehicle engineering, stated.
"More affordable options are as critical as ever," Tesla acknowledged, emphasizing the importance of budget models amidst economic uncertainties.
Tesla's sales are plunging globally, and they need new lower-cost models to support their ambitious AI and robotaxi visions.
It's unclear how the recent Austin robotaxi launch will influence the timeline or strategy for releasing these anticipated low-cost models.
