Why Tesla’s Next-Generation Vehicle Won’t Be $30,000 Below, I explain why the next generation Tesla will be much less expensive than expected and how Tesla can do this. We know Tesla sells the Model 3 for under $40,000 in China today, and it has a project code named Highland to … [continued]
CEO Elon Musk has gone back and forth on the creation of a $25,000 Tesla, seemingly putting an end to those plans earlier this year.
