Tesla’s long-awaited plans for an affordable car include a bare version of the most selling electric SUV, Model Y, to be done in the United States, but the start of production is delayed, three sources of knowledge of the issue said Reuters.
Tesla has promised affordable vehicles starting in the first half of the year, offering a possible incentive for flag sales. The Global Production of the Lower Cost -Coded Model, coded within the E41, is expected to begin in the US, sources said, but would pass at least a few months later than Tesla’s public plan, they added, offering a series of revised objectives from the third trimester to the beginning of next year.
Two of the people said Tesla intended to produce 250,000 from the cheapest YS model in the US in 2026. The new vehicle is also planned for eventual production in China and Europe, Reuters reported earlier. US production delay and production target have not been reported before.
Tesla reports the results on Tuesday, and plans for new vehicles are a big question.
Less expensive mass market vehicles are widely envisaged by Tesla fans and investors, who hope they will attract a fresh group of clients and return the sales of EV manufacturer and market erosion. Tesla has also refreshed her original Y model with external and internal changes. All long -range version in the US costs about $ 49,000, ahead of a federal tax loan of $ 7,500.
Reuters reported last month that the beginning of China I E41 will happen in 2026. E41 will be smaller and will cost 20% less to produce than the Y updated model, resources known to China’s plans said Reuters. The time of participation in Europe is not clear.
Tesla is also planning to launch a bare version of his Compact Model 3 sedan bones, three people said.
Tesla did not immediately respond to a commentary request on the delay of production of the cheaper Y model, production objectives and other details reported here.
The EV manufacturer on January 2 reported his first decline in annual remittances last year, and analysts expect sales to fall again this year for several reasons, including damaging the brand’s reputation from the chief executive Elon Musk with President Trump and the support of the far -right European politicians.
Another challenge for Tesla is that her vehicles are aging and does not have a relatively cheap model.
Musk previously promised a new, cheaper EV platform that is expected to be low up to $ 25,000, but removed it to prioritize robotax development.
Vehicle manufacturers are gathering with prices raising prospects and supply chain discontinuation, as Trump set 25% fees for vehicles and parts of abroad vehicles from US
Teslaâ has increased North American resources for many models over the past two years, which will reduce the exposure of tariffs for E41, two people aware of the matter said. Recently – suspended plans to send components – from China to the US to Cybercab and Semi Truck due to tariffs, a person told Reuters earlier this week.
