Tesla
Tesla is expanding its batting order . We ’ve known for some time that Tesla has been run on two new models , but at a late shareowner meeting , CEO Elon Musk showed off a slide that showed three cars under a white mainsheet — advise that there are in reality three new Tesla vehicle in the pipeline . The new models will expand its consumer card to eight cars — which will hopefully intend that the company provide something for everyone .
But whatarethose fresh vehicle ? Of course , there ’s still a lot we do n’t recognise about the new Tesla poser . However , Tesla itself has offer some selective information — and peck of rumors have also surfaced about what the company is potentially sour on .
Tesla
It ’s important to note a few thing before we plunge into what these models could be . For starters , there ’s basically no warranty on Tesla ’s timing . The company is notoriously bad at launching fomite on time , and routinely pushes back launching day of the month after struggling to get manufacture and development settle . So , even if our guesses as to what Tesla is work on turn out to be correct , it will likely be yr before we see any of these vehicles on the route .
That say , we still ca n’t assist but be alittleexcited about the futurity of Tesla . Here ’s a feeling at what we think those enigma Tesla carscouldbe .
A real budget EV
Electric vehicle price may be fall , but we still have yet to see a dependable $ 25,000 EV . Tesla has long been rumored to be work on a gimcrack automobile , which has been nickname the “ Model 2 . ” Musk himself has verbalise about cheaper models for years , too , so it ’s not out of the question for one of the hugger-mugger railcar to be an entry - grade model . Some reportshave surfaced claim that Tesla has scrapped the approximation of a chintzy good example , but Musk has deny these claim .
If a Model 2 were to launch , it would likely be little thanthe Model 3 sedancurrently available , and perhaps even have a hatchback door or compact crossover aim . It would in all probability have one motor powering the material wheels , though a duple - motor pick is n’t out of the motion — for a higher price . Hopefully , it would still have around 300 miles of reach , though if it ’s built to be more of a city car , it ’s potential that range of a function will be lower .
The Tesla Cybercab
It ’s likely that at least one of the vehicle is the Tesla robotaxi . Tesla is known for its emphasis on autonomous driving technical school ( though perhaps polemically so ) , and Musk has allege that such a vehicle will berevealed on August 8 . It has a name too — the “ Cybercab . ”
The cover vehicles on the Tesla slide have more or less unlike shape , and it ’s hard to sleep together which one could be the Cybercab . It ’s entirely possible that the fomite will be a smaller cable car similar in size to the Tesla Model 3 . However , it ’s also possible that it ’ll be larger and boxier , like a van , to accommodate for more people and thing like luggage .
It ’s hard to know how Tesla will range out the Cybercab . Tesla ’s self - drive technical school has been subject to argument , and the company might be forced to start with small , select area depending on local regulation . Regardless , we ’ll in all probability learn more on August 8 .
A rugged SUV
This one isentirelyspeculation . Personally , I ’d be intimate to see a veridical S.U.V. from Tesla that ’s build to contend with the likes ofthe Rivian R1S. This fomite would have three rows of seats , and a larger body-build that allows for a family unit and storage space .
If Teslawereto release a more rugged SUV , it would likely have a design remindful of its other so - called “ rugged ” vehicle — the Cybertruck . The fomite would do off with the truck seam on the Cybertruck and exsert the cabin of the fomite to offer a third quarrel of seating and plenty of blank for entrepot . I do n’t love the Cybertruck figure , so I would hope to see something different design - wise .
Maybe it’s just the Roadster
If I had to guess , I would assume that the three vehicles are the Tesla Cybercab , the Model 2 ( or whatever the cheap car ends up being called ) , and the long - awaited Tesla Roadster . It only make horse sense — the Roadsterisn’t elsewhere on the slide , and itv was announced way back in 2017 for a 2020 launching date , which it obviously did n’t end up meeting .
Since Tesla first announce the Roadster , Elon Musk has made some pretty wild claims about the upcoming vehicle . Most recently , he read that the machine will be capable to fly . That ’s right … fly .
I have no clue what to make of this , but whatever the Tesla Roadster ends up being will hopefully be released in the cheeseparing hereafter — it for sure count like a cool car when it was first denote .
