Electrification has become a general trend, especially in the mainland new energy vehicle market, even if the subsidy declines, the rise is still gratifying, last year's cumulative sales of new cars 2.989 million, although the volume is not as large as the sedan and SUV segments, but a substantial increase of 169.1%, while the car and SUV segments rose by 6.4% and 3.0% respectively.
China's new energy vehicle market is large and fast-growing, Tesla is also looking at this advantage, as well as infrastructure advantages, chose to build a factory in China, and then Model 3 and Model Y have been put into production, and due to the increase in the localization rate of accessories, the price of Model 3 has been reduced by about 190,000 yuan, and the starting price is only 276,740 yuan, while the previous imported version of the model is as high as 363,900 yuan.
In addition to the Model 3, the price of the Model Y launched later is also not high, the cheapest is only in the early 300,000, while the BMW iX3, which is also a medium-sized SUV, starts at 399,900 yuan, compared with the Model Y is much more cost-effective. It is also because of the cost performance and strong brand influence that Model 3 and Model Y have good market performance, and have entered the top three of their respective market segments.
Previously, there was news that Tesla was going to launch a cheaper car than the Model 3, and recently the media exposed the relevant information about the model, which is said not to be named after the number, more likely to be named Model Q, combined with Tesla's new car planning, may be positioned compact cars.
Judging from the exposed pictures, the Model Q is a hatchback model, the overall appearance continues the simple design style of the Tesla family, the side hidden door handles will still not be absent, as for the interior, the new car may be consistent with the Model 3.
Model Q looks like an "electric small steel cannon", but with reference to the hot-selling sedan models on the market, most of them are more suitable for family sedan models, so it is not excluded that Model Q will launch a sedan version, but it is still necessary to wait for more information to be exposed.
As for the endurance, due to the cheap price of media reference, due to the need to control costs, the Model Q battery life may be lower than the Model 3, or around 350-400km, and there is more news that the new car may be equipped with a smaller BYD blade battery.
In terms of power, Model Q will continue to have a long-endurance version, high-performance version and stand-alone version for consumers to choose, zero hundred acceleration speed up to 3.9s and 6.9s, better than many performance-oriented traditional fuel models, is a proper "electric small steel cannon".
Model Q is the most concerned about the price, the price is expected to be 25,000 US dollars - 30,000 US dollars, equivalent to about 160,000 yuan 160,000- 200,000 yuan, and if produced in China, the price of new cars is expected to be further reduced, and it is not impossible to explore the range of 150,000.
There is still very little news about model Q, and many are just speculations, if such a 160,000 Tesla is launched, it is a good thing for consumers, and there is a new choice, but for independent brands, it will be a huge challenge. Finally, Tesla really launched a 100,000-class model, will you pay for it, welcome to leave a comment.
