Elon Musk is the king of advertisements to create hype. Thanks to his eloquence to generate headlines Tesla has grown at the speed of light with respect to other firms that are in the same situation. The problem is that when he starts making announcements he raises such a stir that later, when he doesn't fulfill them, many jump on him. Of course he has never had many problems because his faithful are there with him. But What will happen to the Tesla Model 2?
As you already know, Tesla is developing a little brother for the Model 3. With it they will not only go down a step in the range, they will also be able to fight with models such as the Volkswagen ID.3, Cupra Born or the king of the segment, the MG4. Be that as it may, the plans for this model to reach the market are "somewhat" old and are already taking a while to arrive. But it seems that in the Palo Alto house they are in a position to set an official date and even a sale price. Take note.
Everything indicates that the new Tesla Model 2 would begin production in 2025...
If you do a little memory you will remember that Elon Musk announced the Model 2 four years ago. It was in 2020 when he said that they had started their development and that it would not take long to arrive. However, time has passed and they haven't released it yet. Worse yet, we still haven't seen a single test unit so unless it's the best secret in the business, it seems like it wouldn't even be finished. Although now there is new information.
According to various sources, including Autocar, "Project Redwood" will hit the market in 2025. This is the code name of the project but the most interesting of all is the sales forecast that Tesla has made for the entire life cycle of the model. As Musk announced, it will be 700 million units unrealistic and illogical figure that would be achieved based on a very adjusted price thanks to a revolutionary production process called “Unboxed”.

If you remember, the launch of the Cybertruck was much talked about because of the production process used by the brand. In the case of their compact they will bet on reduce work between each stage of the production line for like this subtract assembly costs and disassembly. They will also reduce the components or simplify the process in aspects such as the assembly of the seats or the body manufactured in large pieces and pressing.
Another section that should improve compared to its current models is the powertrain. According to Tesla, with the Model 2 they will take a new step towards more efficient and ecological batteries with 75% less silicon carbide and the elimination of rare earth metals in its new electric motors. Of course, for now all data on the technical progress is unknown so we will have to wait for its launch to know what it will really be like...
To be sold below 30 thousand euros... but is its price going to be competitive with rivals like the MG4?
All these technical innovations should help the new Tesla Model 2 to be cheaper. Musk's brand says everywhere that It will have a price of less than 30 thousand euros But is it a viable rate to make it a success? Today Chinese companies are "throwing" (literally) the market and cars like The MG4 is on sale for less than 20 thousand euros. Therefore, the Model 2 must offer a very powerful differentiating factor for it to be a real success.
This final sale price seems even more unrealistic if Production will take place at the Gigafactory that Tesla has in Europe. Apparently, what Musk is looking for is to reduce tariffs derived from his manufacturing in China and the possible trade war that could be repeated between the US and the European Union. However, we will have to see how events unfold because the Model 2 is designed for Europe and the Old Continent is still immature…
