New reports have said a new Tesla electric car is in development with a substantially reduced price tag. Called the Model 2, the car is described as a compact hatchback and is expected to go on sale worldwide in 2023.
However, the price is garnering the most attention with a tag estimated at around 21,000 euros, placing it at $25,000. This marks a significant shift away from the premium EV market where a Model 3 is priced at nearly 41,000 euros or more than $48,000.
