ELON MUSK LEAKED THE TRUTH ABOUT NEW TESLA MODEL 2 TIME RELEASE, PRODUCTION LINE & DESIGN

EV Channels Review

This video delves into the highly anticipated Tesla Model 2, a more affordable electric vehicle. The reviewer highlights significant changes to the initial design, moving away from a Cybertruck-like aesthetic towards something more akin to a smaller Model Y, incorporating updates from the "Juniper" project. A key takeaway is the confirmed use of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries, chosen for cost-effectiveness over the 4680 cells, which are prioritized for higher-performance models. This battery choice is expected to limit the range to approximately 220-250 miles. The launch timeline has been pushed back, with 2025 now deemed unlikely, and 2026 being the most probable release year, potentially utilizing the Mexican factory. Price expectations are also discussed, with the $25,000 target likely being a long-term goal rather than an initial launch price, possibly starting closer to $31,000-$32,000 before tax credits. The video also touches upon the delayed RoboTaxi launch and a new, affordable Model 3 variant as context for Tesla's current production focus.
