Talk:Tesla next-generation vehicle

Tesla 2
While Tesla has not announced an official name, the vehicle is very, very commonly referred to in the press as the "Tesla 2" and the name is thus worth mentioning here as well. Jpatokal (talk) 09:32, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

'Half the cost' of which, when and how?
The Model 3 years ago was briefly priced very low with a cheap variant that was hard to find on the vehicle configurator. More recently the Model 3 and Model Y again have cheaper variants that, with all full possible state and federal tax credits, are as cheap as it was promised they would be (an under $35,000 Tesla). The average price of the 3/Y as purchased is more like 50 to 60 thousand dollars, of which a 'Model 2' at $25,000 would be half the price. However, going by the cheapest sale price after incentives of under $30,000, half would mean a Tesla cheaper than any car currently for sale in the US at 15 to $20,000. Maybe there should be some clarification here or trimming of speculation. B137 (talk) 01:53, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

Texas and Mexico
The Next Generation platform vehicles are slated to be built in Tesla's Giga Mexico plant which will be located in Monterrey, Mexico. Tesla is currently standing up a production line for the vehicle in Giga Texas. Production for the vehicle will begin in Texas where the engineering teams will be able to iron out any issues early on. Tesla expects that production will stabilize in time for Giga Mexico to open at which time mass production of the Next Generation platform vehicles will overtake the numbers being produced in Texas. Texas is not the planned long-term facility for NextGen, it will only kick off the builds until Mexico is ready to take over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.253.177.151 (talk) 12:31, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

 * ✅—The article prose is cleaned up now, and well sourced. Tesla will bring up the assembly line in Texas, and then mass manufacture (per sources) at Mexico, Berlin-Brandenburg, and likely others.  Government of India & Tesla are in talks, so has been proposed there.  Haven't found a source yet for Shanghai, but would be hard to believe such a new low-cost platform would not also be manufactured in China; but we will wait for a source before mentioning it in the article prose.
