Tesla's cheapest electric car right now may only be the Model 3, but in the next two years, there will be new ones at even more affordable prices.
Tesla is an electric battery-based car company that is now increasingly loved in a number of countries. It's just that the price of several Tesla electric car models is still considered too expensive.
This is also what makes the South American brand automotive manufacturer reportedly offer a smaller electric car at an affordable price.
This information leak circulated after a social media account from China, Weixin, made a status. According to the status, Tesla is preparing for production in Mexico, to be precise in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, in the first quarter of 2025.
In addition, if Tesla asks several parts suppliers in Shanghai, to contribute to the manufacture of these cheap electric cars.
Launch LatePost, Friday (30/06/2023) Tesla once asked 20 parts suppliers from the Bamboo Curtain country to join in setting up a component factory in Mexico.
Conversely, if suppliers from China refuse to participate in producing parts, it is not impossible that Tesla will withdraw contracts with suppliers.
Reportedly, Tesla itself is deliberately investing in China, where 95 percent of the parts for the Tesla Model 3 are produced locally.
There is no detailed mention of Tesla's plan to present this relatively inexpensive car. However, the Tesla factory in Monterrey has been confirmed to be working on the next generation of Tesla electric cars.
It was stated, one of Tesla's parts suppliers in China stated that production costs in Mexico were actually 15 percent more expensive than in China. As a result, the price of this component is 18-20 percent more expensive than China's price.
Tesla's Cheapest Electric Car Prices
Tesla's plan to present a smaller and more affordable car under the Model 3 has indeed been stated long ago.
This is also inseparable from the intention of Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, who predicts that the company can sell more than five million units of cars.
It is known, Tesla has produced 1.3 million, where the cars are the Model 3 and Model Y. Launching Drive, Tesla confirmed that the new model is planned to cost half the production cost of the Model 3.
However, the car still has an innovative and smaller car battery pack. The initial price targeted by Elon Musk for the next generation of electric cars is USD 25,000.
At this price, it is likely that the newest and cheapest electric car will use a lithium iron phosphate battery with a capacity of 53 kWh and a distance of more than 500 km.
Hearing this cheap price, of course, if you enter Indonesia it will be different. The reason is, many cars outside are cheap, but when they enter Indonesia the prices swell.
Just look, currently the cheapest price for Tesla is still above 1.5 billion. In contrast to cars from Chinese brands, which dare to sell electric cars at affordable prices.
