今年早些时候,特斯拉(Tesla)被曝出取消了传闻中的生产25,000美元汽车的计划,现在该公司又承诺将推出更经济的电动汽车。
特斯拉在第三季度业绩报告中表示,客户预计将在2025年上半年看到“更经济的车型”。
特斯拉在报告中表示:“为了继续加速推动全球向可持续能源转型,我们需要生产人人都买得起的电动汽车,包括使电动汽车的每英里总拥有成本与所有交通方式相比具有竞争力。我们的新车计划正在筹备当中,包括更经济的车型,将在2025年上半年发布。”
从财报中无法确定,该公司会推出全新的经济车型,还是只是Model 3的低价版。特斯拉并未立即回应《财富》杂志的置评请求。
此前,特斯拉曾在4月份被曝出取消了经济型电动汽车Model 2的计划。这款汽车旨在扩大公司对大众市场的吸引力。特斯拉价格最低的车型Model 3售价约为39,000美元。
近十年来,生产适合大众市场的电动汽车,一直是埃隆·马斯克的愿景的一部分,而且他曾多次向投资者做出这种承诺。在马斯克2006年的“秘密总计划”中,他设想的是首先生产一款昂贵的电动跑车,然后将利润用于生产更经济的车型,甚至以后推出“价格更低的经济车型”。
在4月取消了经济型电动汽车的计划后,马斯克将公司的重心转向了无人驾驶出租车。本月早些时候,特斯拉公布了第一款Cybercab和适用于更多人乘坐的Robovan。虽然由于马斯克在发布会上没有公布太多细节,一些分析师感到不满,但马斯克在周三的业绩电话会议上表示,其无人驾驶出租车已经在旧金山公路上由公司员工进行测试。
他表示:“通过开发应用程序,你可以申请乘坐无人驾驶出租车,它会将你送到湾区的任何地方。”
特斯拉在第三季度的交付量超出预期,使公司的利润远超预期,达到21.7亿美元,同比上涨了17.3%。马斯克还预测明年公司利润的涨幅为20%或30%,这使得特斯拉的股价截至周四下午暴涨超过20%,达到每股258美元。(财富中文网)

Tesla is back to promising a more affordable EV after reportedly canceling plans for a rumored $25,000 vehicle earlier this year.
The company said in its third-quarter earnings report that customers should expect “more affordable models” to launch in the first half of 2025.
“In order to continue accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy, we need to make EVs affordable for everyone, including making total cost of ownership per mile competitive with all forms of transportation,” the company wrote. “Preparations remain underway for our offering of new vehicles – including more affordable models—which we will begin launching in the first half of 2025.”
It’s unclear from the report whether the company will introduce a new affordable model or merely a cheaper version of its Model 3. Tesla did not immediately respond to Fortune’s request for comment.
The move comes after Tesla in April reportedly scrapped its plan for an affordable EV, dubbed the Model 2, which was meant to position the company for mass-market appeal. Tesla’s cheapest vehicle, the Model 3, sells for about $39,000.
Building an EV for the masses has been a part of CEO Elon Musk’s vision for nearly a decade, and he has repeatedly promised it to investors. In Musk’s original “secret master plan” from 2006, he imagined first building an expensive sports car EV, using the profits to build a more affordable vehicle, and then “an even more affordable car” later.
After shelving its plans for an affordable EV in April, Musk pivoted the company to focus on robotaxis. Earlier this month, the company unveiled its first Cybercab and a Robovan meant for bigger groups. While some analysts were unimpressed by the scant details Musk offered during the announcement, the CEO said on the company’s earnings call Wednesday that its robotaxis are already being tested with employees on San Francisco roads.
“With the development app, you can request a ride, and it’ll take you anywhere in the Bay Area,” he said.
Tesla blew away expectations in its third quarter with higher deliveries that helped deliver better-than-expected profit of $2.17 billion, up 17.3% from a year ago. Musk also guided toward 20% or 30% growth next year, which helped Tesla stock skyrocket more than 20% to $258 per share as of Thursday afternoon.
