Tesla Motors, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) – Tesla’s China-Made $25K Vehicle To Be Sold Globally
The Gigafactory Shanghai is pumping out Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) is thinking about the next vehicle to add to its lineup.
During Tesla’s battery and investor day in September 2020, CEO Elon Musk talked about the future introduction of a more affordable $25,000 Tesla.
He said he hoped the car would be available within three years. Now in a video covered by Teslarati, Tom Zhu, Tesla China president, said the $25,000 vehicle will be designed and produced in China and sold worldwide.
