Tesla’s $20,000 Compact Car — Coming Soon After Tesla Battery Day Reveals New Batteries
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in categories: Elon Musk, media & arts, sustainability, transportation
Tesla is working on a compact car that will be manufactured in China and distributed worldwide. The battery technologies required for a compact car will be unveiled at Tesla Battery Day that will enable Tesla to make a small car for less than $25,000, possibly close to $20,000 or less.

The new batteries will allow Tesla to shrink the battery pack’s size while offering enough range for everyday driving. Elon Musk’s speech at the launch event in China suggests the car will be quite unique, just like the Cybertruck.
