A few days ago Elon Musk himself commented that Tesla cars "are still too expensive", and taking into account this fact, he also hinted that the firm could develop a new model of access to the range, much cheaper than the Tesla Model 3.
The new car could be a hatchback and be cheaper and smaller than current Tesla models, it could also be designed in Germany and perhaps manufactured in the new Tesla facilities in Texas, as Musk showed in his most recent conference where The company's earnings were disclosed.
Business Insider says that, during a discussion with investors, Musk commented that “It is important to make the car affordable. What bothers me most where we are now is that our cars are not affordable enough. We need to fix that. "
Although Musk did not speak of deadlines, this new affordable Tesla would be smaller than the current Model 3 and that, due to costs and final price, could be manufactured in China.
In early July, Musk also responded to a tweet specifically asking about a smaller European-style hatchback, confirming that it would be feasible to manufacture.
"It is probably good design and engineering in Germany," said the businessman.
According to the Motorpasión portal, this new affordable car could be aimed at the European market and will target nothing more and nothing less than the Volkswagen ID.3.
