2023 Tesla Compact: illustrations…
Last Updated:
It looks like many have been trying to guess what Telsa’s new upcoming compact car will look like.
Not much is known about it yet. There are a few rumors only. Apparently, we might see it in 2022. Not sure if that would be a concept or the actual production car. A smaller hatchback would make sense, especially for the European market, where Tesla is building a new factory. It would be the perfect competition to the new VW ID3.
They are also talking of “new battery technology” being introduced in the compact. And especially, a $25 000 starting price. Which could make it well under $20 000 with incentives. (Since Tesla will probably qualify for EV incentives again pretty soon)
They released a teaser image of what the new model could look like (bottom pic) last year. I think the illustration on top is so far the closest I have seen to that rough teaser.
I think a sub-$20 000 Tesla (After incentives) could be hugely popular. What do you think?
And which one of these would you like to see?
Did Autocar really just take a Mazda 3 and photoshop it a little to make their concept? ::sigh::

Will this be called the Model A? And the upcoming roadster the Model F? Because we all know Elon thinks his Tesla lineup is S3XY A F.

I guess they are paying zero for design. They all look the same.
Why would they become eligible for incentives again? Biden?
Vince… the concept image here isn’t confirmed as coming from Tesla. That image has been floating around as a render from a fan.
Thanks for the info, Scott!
I can only imagine how crappy the paint and build quality will be on Tesla's cheapest car!🙄
