The New 2024 Tesla Model 2

Tesla is revolutionizing the automotive industry with their innovative electric vehicles. Known for their sleek design, advanced technology, and impressive performance, Tesla cars have quickly become a favorite among car enthusiasts and eco-conscious consumers alike.

One of Tesla's most highly anticipated releases is the Model 2, the latest addition to their lineup of electric vehicles. This new model promises to deliver all of the features and capabilities that Tesla is known for, at a more accessible price point. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at the upcoming Tesla Model 2 and explore the exciting new features that it has to offer. From its advanced technology to its sleek design, the Model 2 is sure to impress.

September 2023 Update

Recently published Axios report gives us insights into Tesla’s development of a $25,000 electric vehicle. Article is based on Walter Isaacson’s latest biography of Elon Musk, based on author’s interactions and conversations with Tesla CEO himself.

Report doesn’t confirm that the new $25,000 EV is in fact ‘Model 2’. However, we have reason to believe that two cars are the same. A $25,000 EV would be very popular, and Tesla would have to produce them in massive quantities. The manufacturer would most likely perfect the assembly lines for one affordable car before starting the next.

Walter Isaacson notes that Musk only gave green light for building affordable EV after seeing its futuristic, Cybertruck-like design. After seeing the new affordable EV, Musk allegedly said:

"When one of these comes around a corner, people will think they are seeing something from the future."

Book confirms our suspicion that the new budget-friendly EV will be produced in Mexico Gigafactory. Manufacturing facility is nowhere near completion, so release of Model 2 could be delayed.

Tesla Model 2 Release Date

Tesla Analysts at Evercore ISI, estimate that the Tesla Model 2 will be unveiled at Tesla’s March 2024 annual stockholder meeting.

“Tesla will announce the Tesla Model 2 concept during its 2024 annual shareholder meeting event,” stated analysts at Evercore ISI in their 2023 stock analysis report.

“It is clear that Tesla's Model 2 will play a prominent role at their event, as evidenced by the reduction in prices for all of its other models in an effort to entice new customer," Evercore ISI analysts suggested.

The investment banking research and analysis team expects the Model 2 to be showcased in March of 2024 along with the construction of their new gigafactory and start ramping production on the new electric vehicle mid-2025.

New Features

Performance & Range

The Tesla Model 2 is designed to deliver exceptional performance and range, making it the perfect car for both city driving and long-distance trips. The car is powered by a state-of-the-art electric motor that provides instant torque and smooth acceleration, allowing it to go from 0 to 60 mph in just a few seconds. The car is also equipped with a large battery pack that provides an impressive range of up to 300 miles on a single charge, allowing drivers to travel longer distances without stopping and recharging.

Exterior/Interior Design & Features

The Tesla Model 2 is designed to be both stylish and functional. The car features a sleek and aerodynamic body that not only looks great but also helps to improve its performance and range. The car is also equipped with a variety of advanced features such as a large touchscreen display, a state-of-the-art infotainment system, and an advanced driver-assist system that includes features such as enhanced autopilot, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and more.

Charging

One of the best things about owning a Tesla Model 2 is the ability to charge it quickly and easily. The car is equipped with a high-speed charging system that allows it to be charged up to 80% in just 30 minutes, making it convenient for long-distance trips. The car also can charge at home using a standard outlet, which means that you can charge your car overnight and wake up to a full battery in the morning. Tesla also offers a vast Supercharger network that makes it easy to find a charging station when you are on the go.

Tesla Model 2 Pricing

The Tesla Model 2 is an attractive option for buyers looking for an electric vehicle with high performance without paying the price of a Model 3 or Model Y.

The starting price of the Model 2 is expected to be around $25,000. This puts it in a competitive range with other low-cost electric vehicles on the market. However, it's worth noting that the Model 2 comes with a range of advanced features that set it apart from other EVs in its price range.

Another consideration for buyers is the cost of the battery and range. The Model 2 has a range of up to 300 miles, which is on par with other EVs in its class. However, buyers should keep in mind that the cost of replacing the battery in the future may be higher than with other vehicles.

Another consideration is the availability and cost of charging options. While the Model 2 can be charged at any Tesla Supercharger, there is a price for using their infrastructure that buyers should keep this in mind when thinking about the cost of charging and range.

Lastly, buyers should also consider any available federal or state incentives for purchasing an electric vehicle, which may help offset the cost of the Model 2.

Overall, the Model 2 is a great choice for buyers who prioritize performance and design and are willing to make some trade-offs in terms of interior space and charging options. The Model 2 is an affordable alternative compared to the Model 3 and Model Y, and it's sure to appeal to a wide range of buyers.

2024 Tesla Model 2 Accessories

A fully loaded 2024 Performance Tesla Model 2 will feature a hatchback design with lowered suspension, new alloy wheels, an immersive sound system, and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler to give the car a sporty look. The exterior will resemble the 2023 Model 3 made into a hatchback vehicle, but there may be exciting news for carbon fiber fans

Although the Model 2 will have an elegant interior, Tesla owners have expressed intent to replace the OEM wood dashboard.

There are rumors that the 2024 Tesla Model 2 may have options to add spectre fiber accessories including, door trim replacements, dashbard replacements and more. These accessories might just elevate Tesla's driving experience despite its lack of customization. 

The Tesla Model 2 carbon fiber accessories are expected to be compatible with the Model 3 & Y seen in this list.
