Tesla has reiterated plans to launch more affordable electric vehicles (EVs) by mid-2025, combining next-generation platform elements with existing production methods, according to recent company statements. The automaker aims to broaden market accessibility with models expected to start around $30,000.

Initially targeting a late-2025 release, Tesla accelerated the timeline to the first half of 2025 in early 2023, attributing the shift to streamlined manufacturing that integrates current and next-gen techniques on existing lines. The company reaffirmed the schedule in both its Q3 and Q4 2024 shareholder reports, stating production remains on track.

While specifics about the vehicles are undisclosed, Tesla highlighted technologies from its Cybertruck that could feature in future models. These include giga-castings, a 48-volt electrical architecture, steer-by-wire, an 800-volt battery system, and bidirectional charging. Additional elements such as adaptive air suspension, rear-wheel steering, and integrated audio systems were also noted.

Analysts suggest incorporating all listed technologies into a $30,000 vehicle may prove challenging, given their premium nature. Tesla has not clarified which features will be prioritized for the affordable lineup.
