The author thinks that it is a good way to reduce the cost by using the existing parts such as headlights of Model 3. Therefore, the front part looks no different from Model 3. It should be a compact hatchback with a changed body proportion. The renderings also changed the back door into a hidden door handle, and the proportion of the back door was significantly shortened.
As early as Tesla Battery Day in 2020, Musk said that he would launch an electric car with a price of 25,000 US dollars (about RMB 16 1800 yuan) within three years. The project was also launched in September 2020. It is expected that the product verification will be completed in March this year, and it will be officially put into production as early as 2022.
In a report released by foreign media, Tesla has begun to conduct an environmental impact assessment on MODEL 2, and the estimated price is between 25,000 and 30,000 US dollars (about160,000 to 200,000 yuan). The report also pointed out that the first batch of MODEL 2 test vehicles will start the road test soon. For the release time of the new car, foreign media speculated that it is likely to be during the Guangzhou Auto Show held at the end of this year, which is also in line with the positioning of the new car focusing on the domestic market.
Judging from previous reports, the new car or the "castrated version" of Model 3 is more like a slim version of Model 3, such as becoming a more economical compact hatchback. Because the platforms of Model 3 and Model Y are very extensible, which is different from the platforms before Model S, it is almost certain to build a new car based on this platform, which is also the advantage of the modular platform. Considering that the new car is a low-cost compact hatchback that can meet the needs of consumers in China and Europe at the same time, foreign media predict that the cruising range of the new car is about 350-450 kilometers (265,438+07-279 miles).
