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 metres in length, significantly shorter than the Model Y. It aims to be produced in China with plans to expand production to the United States and Europe. The vehicle is expected to have a smaller battery and a single electric motor to reduce costs, making it lighter and cheaper than current models. The project is in early development and production is unlikely to begin in 2026.
