Lower-Cost Tesla Will Outsell All Current Teslas Combined
During the Q3 2022 Tesla conference call, a question was asked regarding the on-again, off-again lower-cost Tesla vehicle that many people think is critical to Tesla reaching 10 million car sales a year, let alone
Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s response was: “Well, we don’t talk exact dates, but this is a — I mean, the primary focus of our New Vehicle Development team, obviously. At this point, we’ve done the engineering for Cybertruck and for Semi and, so, it’s obvious you can guess what we’re working on, which is this next-generation vehicle, which will be about half the cost of the 3/Y platform. It’ll be smaller, to be fair, but it will I think swiftly become — swiftly exceed the product of all of our other vehicles combined.” Read more: CleanTechnica » Tesla To Build 1,0000 GWh Of Battery Cells Domestically, Over Double Entire World's 2022 Output Tesla Sales Seven Times Higher Than Closest Rivals For Q3 2022 Tesla Supercharging Expansion Accelerated In Q3 2022 Tesla Energy Generation And Storage Business: Q3 2022 Results

Tesla Model Y Sales Skyrocketing, May Beat Ford F-150 Globally In 2022BloombergNEF predicts Tesla's Model Y electric crossover could move into the top five for global sales in 2022, and it seems the publication is on the mark. the company’s targeted 20 million.Mine the materials if it becomes the limiting factor (which it isn’t yet).: Steven Loveday Tesla missed the mark yet again in Q3 2022, since Wall Street's delivery estimates were higher than the US electric automaker was able to achieve.The number of new stations amounted to 312, which is the second-highest quarterly result ever, after the all-time record in Q4 2022. An institutional investor asked, “The progression from Tesla’s first platform with S/X to the second platform with 3/Y led to a 50% reduction in COGS.

When do you see Tesla’s third platform being released and what level of COGS reduction could you achieve?” Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s response was: “Well, we don’t talk exact dates, but this is a — I mean, the primary focus of our New Vehicle Development team, obviously.5 billion a year to consumers. At this point, we’ve done the engineering for Cybertruck and for Semi and, so, it’s obvious you can guess what we’re working on, which is this next-generation vehicle, which will be about half the cost of the 3/Y platform. Regardless of whether Tesla is able to meet or exceed Wall Street analyst consensus each quarter, its growth story has been one for the history books, and it continues.

It’ll be smaller, to be fair, but it will I think swiftly become — swiftly exceed the product of all of our other vehicles combined. $10 a kWh for pack manufacturing — times a half billion kWh (assuming half batteries go to energy storage and half to vehicles) is another $5 billion a year.” Lars Moravy, VP of Vehicle Engineering, added, “Yeah, I mean, obviously we’re going to take everything we learned from S/X, 3/Y, Cybertruck, and Semi and pour it into that platform.

Quarterly results: 312 new stations - 8% more than a year ago 2,718 new individual connectors (stalls) - 14% more than a year ago 8. As you’ve said to us many times, we’re on a 2-for-1 target, so, you know that implies trying to get to that 50% number again. Elon Musk also mentioned that they think they are still on the path outlined at Battery Day to achieve a battery cell cost of $70 per kWh without any of the above subsidies.

Not to mention.” Elon re-interjected himself: “Yeah, it’s like […] How do we make two cars for the amount of effort it currently takes us to make one Model 3? […] And we do believe this can be done.” Managing Partner of The Future Fund, Gary Black, responded, “ Perhaps the most important insight from the 3Q conf call: Production of the M-$30K car will exceed production of all other $TSLA models combined.

Furthermore, President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has direct grants for interstate charging which Tesla will likely bid for. ” A former Tesla employee who worked for years on recruitment for the company also highlighted this note: Tesla is developing a third vehicle platform that should undercut the cost of goods sold for Model 3 and Model Y similarly to how 3 & Y undercut Model X and Model X. Eventually expects the volume of that vehicle platform to surpass all S, 3, X, & Y vehicle production 🤯 — The Kilowatts 🚗 (@klwtts) October 19, 2022 But it was one particular response from popular Tesla Twitter account Whole Mars Catalog that stood out — because it went beyond the normal commentary and also got a “like” on Twitter from Elon Musk.

On the investor conference call, they were optimistic that overall costs will fall next year. Considering the previous growth rate, it's expected that the 40,000th Supercharging stall will be installed before the end of this year.

The key note there that is different is that Elon Musk seems to confirm that this lower-cost Tesla will be for robotaxi service. (Not to say that Tesla’s larger vehicles, which offer more passenger and cargo space, won’t be use as robotaxis too if Tesla can solve self-driving tech challenges enough to get robotaxis approved. Before the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was passed, and even after it was passed but before Tesla announced today that they are confident they will be able to qualify for the provisions, I thought Tesla would need to introduce the Model Y Standard Range and reduce the price of the Model 3 a little to grow sales.) However, since that tweet, it seems that Whole Mars Catalog (aka Omar) has gotten a tip (perhaps from Elon) that this lower-cost Tesla won’t only tweet from earlier today stated, “So apparently Tesla’s generation 3 vehicle platform isn’t just for the Robotaxi… there’s some other new vehicles that will be based on it too.” So, yeah, robotaxis or not, Tesla is working on a lower-cost car that should be accessible to a much larger portion of the market.

Now, I think the effect of the $7,500 credit will make it unnecessary to reduce the price of the Model 3 this year. Right now, the cheapest Model 3 you can buy in the United States is $46,990 .

That’s far above its targeted intro price of $35,000, inflation or not. Elon said two-thirds of the batteries will use iron rather than nickel in the cathode, with magnesium as a wildcard. However, if Tesla can bring a car to market that costs half as much, that’d have a starting price of $23,500.

That’s a mass-market car, a seriously mass-market car. The “Model 2” (“Model C?”) Returns Tesla is much smarter these days about not Osborning existing sales by announcing the coming availability of a better car when nobody can buy it anyway and it could cause demand for Tesla’s existing cars to weaken.

While the Model 3 and Model Y can see millions of sales a year, a $23,500 Tesla could certainly see millions more than them. We will have to wait to see whether it really comes to market at about that price, when it comes to market, and in what regions it comes to market at that price.
