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.
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 Coded -Codedamed E41 model is expected to start in the US, sources said, but would pass at least months later than Tesla’s public plan, they added 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 mass market vehicles are widely envisaged by Tesla fans and investors, who hope they will attract a fresh group of clients and return the Evner sales market share. 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 Chinese beginning of E41 will happen in 2026. E41 will be smaller and will cost 20% less to produce than the Y refreshing model, sources 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 some reason, including damage to the brand’s reputation from the chief executive Elon Musk with President Trump and the European right -wing support.
Another challenge for Tesla is that her vehicles are aging and does not have a relatively cheap model.
Musk previously promised a new platform, cheaper EV by car that is expected to be as low as $ 25,000, but removed it to prioritize the robotax development.
Vehicle manufacturers are gathering with prices raising prospects and supply chain termination, after 25% Trump tax tariffs in vehicles and parts of abroad vehicles SH.BA
Teslaâ has increased North American resources for many models over the last two years, which will reduce all exposure to E41, two people and the whole issue said. She recently suspended plans to send components – from China to SH.BA to Cybercab and Semi Truck Second for Allffs, a person told Reuters earlier this week.
