BlockBeats News, April 9th, informed sources revealed that Tesla is developing a new, smaller, more affordable electric SUV. The company has been in contact with suppliers in recent weeks to discuss the details of this compact SUV plan, which will be a new vehicle rather than a redesign of Tesla's existing Model 3 or Model Y. Sources said this compact SUV will be produced in China, with another suggesting that Tesla also plans to expand production to the United States and Europe.
The vehicle measures 4.28 meters (about 14 feet) in length, notably shorter than Tesla's best-selling Model Y SUV (about 15.7 feet). Previously, Musk decided to cancel the highly anticipated low-cost electric car project in 2024 and shift the company's focus to robotaxis and humanoid robots. Whether this latest attempt to develop a smaller SUV signifies a strategic return to mass-market Level 4 autonomous electric vehicles or if the new vehicle will better align with Tesla's vision of fully autonomous driving cars is a key question.
According to sources and an employee, this model may serve dual purposes. The employee refused to confirm or deny any specific details about the model but indicated that overall, Tesla's current goal is to create a model that is autonomous but offers a manual driving option. (Jinse)
