Tesla will not produce a new model in 2022 as the company will focus on the production of existing models and deal with supply, CEO Elon Musk said on a conference call Wednesday. chain limit. “We won’t be launching new models this year,” he said.
It doesn’t make sense. We’ll still be limited by parts. However, we’ll be doing a lot of engineering, tooling, stuff like that to make these models: Cybertruck, Tesla Semi, Roadster, and Optimus humanoid.
Musk also confirmed that production of the new Cybertruck and Roadster will be delayed, hopefully, next year. Earlier media reports said Tesla had delayed production of the Cybertruck from the end of this year to early 2023.
When asked when the $25,000 electric model would be launched, Musk said Tesla is not currently working on one. Over the years, Musk has promised a lower-priced model, in part because Tesla is working to reduce battery production costs.
At some point in the future, we will. We’ve got enough to do now, Musk said. Frankly too much.
