"It seems unlikely, especially since Tesla launched two new, more affordable models last week with the Model 3 and Model Y Standard trims. However, a report from European media outlet 36kr claims Tesla has started to advance two vehicle projects, internally codenamed E41 and D50, in China. People familiar with the matter reportedly told the outlet that "some design and verification reports of the new projects are inherited from the current Model Y and Model 3.""
"These new simplified models would be priced between $5,000 and $5,500 cheaper than what the new 'Standard' trims cost. The report also claims that these vehicles would be launched only if the new 'Standard' models "fall short of sales expectations." This report suggests that potentially more affordable models are being offered, but this seems unlikely, considering Tesla launched the two Standard models just last week, and the only truly affordable model it is working on will be the Cybercab."
Tesla launched Model 3 and Model Y Standard trims as more affordable options. European outlet 36kr reports that Tesla has advanced two China-based vehicle projects codenamed E41 and D50. People familiar with the matter said some design and verification reports for the new projects are inherited from the current Model Y and Model 3. The new simplified models would be priced $5,000 to $5,500 lower than the new Standard trims and would be launched only if the Standard models fall short of sales expectations. Social posts link projects NV91 and NV93 to models smaller than the Model Y and to a halted $25,000 vehicle. Tesla's recent unboxed-process patent language targets streamlined, higher-quality production consistent with the Cybercab program.
