WATCH: New Tesla Prototype Spied At Fremont Gigafactory

Tesla promised "more affordable EVs" would launch in the first half of 2025, and many people thought Tesla would expand its lineup with new models. A recent prototype sighting at Tesla Fremont caused an uproar, as the car looked like a smaller Model Y. However, this might not be the new car Tesla fans expect.

 

Although it shied away from the plans to launch a next-generation compact EV alongside the Cybercab, Tesla is still expected to build a more affordable model. As the EV maker informs us with every earnings call, this will no longer use the next-gen platform but will share the Model 3/Y platform. Tesla will integrate some elements of the Gen 3 architecture, but the upcoming model will pretty much use the existing vehicle architecture and production lines.
