According to a
Tesla Facts and
Teslarati, the highly anticipated $25,000 Tesla compact car may be coming to market much sooner than previous information suggested.
We recently reported about Tesla China s Supercharger facility and upcoming R&D center. With that news, many suggested Tesla may be pushing forward with the design and eventual production of a smaller, cheaper model for the Chinese market.
Fast-forward to the present, and a Gigafactory Shanghai eco-assessment report included a teaser about a third Tesla model that will be produced in China. The information teases that Tesla may have plans to produce the cheaper model as soon as next year. It will be built on the Model 3 chassis and carry a price tag ranging from RMB160,000 to RMB200,000 (the equivalent of about $25,000 to $30,000).
