Description
Description | Tesla is developing an all-new smaller, cheaper electric SUV that is a new vehicle and not a variant of the current Model 3 or Y. The compact SUV would be about 4.28 meters (14 feet) in length, significantly shorter than the Model Y. The vehicle aims to be driverless but also offer a human-driven option, with production planned in China and potentially expanded to the United States and Europe. The project is in early development and aims to offer the vehicle at a substantially lower price than the entry-level Model 3, using a smaller battery and a single electric motor to reduce costs and weight. |
