(Foreign media Tesla Model Q rendered hypothetical figure)
Friend Lao Zhang is a man with two cars, a Magnum and an Audi A4L, but still always call themselves di si, so they are ridiculed by us as "pseudo di si", years ago they were even more clamoring to buy the cheapest Tesla, but recently there has been no movement:
"Pseudo-Dick, aren't you going to buy a Tesla?" Why don't you start yet? ”
"It's not that I haven't gone up yet, I'm waiting!"
"What kind of car are you going to buy, not the Model 3?"
"What Model 3, I'm going to buy is Model Q!"
"No, you're still waiting for that fake news ModelQ?"
"How can it be fake news!"
......
Not long ago at the end of 2021, the internet exposed the new Tesla car series map rendered by foreign media, and also announced that it will be a compact pure electric model specially built for The country, and named Model 2, but was denied by Masca, and then some netizens speculated that it might be called Model Q, and the price would be around 160,000, this news also made the majority of fans who paid attention to this matter excited at the time, so many people also gave up the plan to buy Model 3, and were ready to continue to wait for Model Q came out.
And according to foreign media news and design drawings, in addition to the appearance of a miniature version of the Model Y, the new car may also be equipped with a fully autonomous driving function, and also said that Masca said that this car will be dominated by China, this year by the Tesla gigafactory in Shanghai, China and sold globally, and the biggest selling point may not be the price but the more intelligent driver assistance function. But will this Model Q really be released in China in a short period of time, in my opinion, such a plan may be difficult to achieve in a short period of time.
First of all, let's tentatively set this unknown model as "Model Q", imagine if Tesla really launched such a Model Q model, it will indeed be a big impact on China's traditional automotive industry and even the new energy vehicle industry, and it will also make domestic car companies face greater pressure and catch up, which is good news for consumers, but in terms of technology, companies as strong as Tesla have problems that cannot be solved at present. For example, the most core battery, tesla is mainly using LG and Panasonic batteries, and has been and BYD's blade battery to talk about cooperation, so the future may be several mainstream battery suppliers of batteries will be used in Tesla models, and Tesla's current vehicle manufacturing costs are the most difficult to control the battery, although the domestic has used lithium iron phosphate batteries, the cost has decreased compared to before, but it is not easy to further reduce.
(Tesla Model 3)
Secondly, from the renderings flowed out of foreign media, even if the cost of the hatchback body has been reduced, the core battery cost is still the most important problem, and if the mileage is shortened to reduce the battery cost, in the domestic new energy model can not move the standard of five or six hundred kilometers today, the advantages of this car shorter than the Model 3 endurance are almost nothing. The more intelligent driver assistance mentioned above is also more difficult to achieve in terms of China's current traffic laws.
(Tesla Model S)
Write at the end:
As far as the current development progress of domestic new energy models is concerned, Tesla wants to re-subvert the Chinese market through new models at a lower price, which may not be as easy as everyone expects, and this model named "Model Q" will have a long process of putting into production and listing in Shanghai Factory in a short period of time, but it is believed that Tesla will launch similar models in the next two to three years and continue to become the leader and subversive of new energy vehicles.
