Tesla Model 2 (2023): a compact for less than €30,000?

Tesla Model 2 (2023): a compact for less than €30,000? Tesla Model 2 (2023) – The Californian firm is sometimes criticized for the elitist nature of its range. Even today, you have to pay at least €50,000 to afford a Tesla . But history has shown us that the democratization of a new technology necessarily involves its commercial launch at the top of the range, to hope for a return on investment thanks to good margins, with a view to investing in lower niches thereafter.

Since 2021, the success of the Model S and Model X has funded the development of more accessible vehicles, embodied by the Model 3 and Model Y. Themselves, thanks to the mastery of their large-scale production, will soon allow Tesla to enter a new era, with a view to democratizing its 100% electric vehicles to as many people as possible.

A soon-to-be generalist manufacturer?

This is how on the horizon 2023/2024 , the Tesla Model 2 should enter the track, in order to compete with the Volkswagen ID.3 . About 4.40 m long , it would be a priority for the European market, and therefore assembled on our continent. The Palo Alto firm has also put down its suitcases in Berlin, to bring out of the ground its new Gigafactory. This industrial complex, which should assemble Model Y from the end of 2021, will also host a dedicated design center, which will probably give birth to this future Model 2.

An increasingly competitive segment.

To worry about the Volkswagen ID.3 , as well as the future Renault Mégane ZE , expected at the end of 2021, Tesla will have to reduce its production costs drastically . The German starts its prices below the €38,000 mark, excluding state aid, with a basic autonomy of 330 km. We bet that the future Tesla Model 2 will do better for less, by its release, with new technological advances. It should offer a range of up to 600 km, in its most upscale version . One can also imagine that a sports variant , developing the equivalent of 400 hp, will support its image, in the longer term.

A more European style?

In terms of style, the compact will be based on a two-volume silhouette , but will remain faithful to a 5-door architecture . However, it could display a raised base to optimize its interior space , like what the future Renault model will offer. Inside, the Model 2 should renew the clean environment of Tesla’s current productions. But let’s hope the future German style office will instill an extra soul to this future cockpit, as well as to its exterior design.
