Tesla's next-generation platform, which will underpin its so-called $25,000 entry-level EV and robotaxi, will be much simpler to build, according to Elon Musk.
When asked if a similar ramp to the Cybertruck should be expected, Musk noted that the next-generation platform is more conventional than the Cybertruck because there are simply not as many new things in this vehicle.
"The high-volume, low-cost smaller vehicle is actually much more conventional," Musk said. "We're doing everything as possible to simplify the next-generation vehicle in order to achieve a units-per-minute level that is unheard of in the auto industry."
Tesla's head honcho also made some remarks about the design of the next-generation vehicle, which he described as "cool" and "beautiful," but "utilitarian."
"It will be cool, but it's utilitarian. It's not meant to fill you with awe and magic, it's to get you from A to B. Still beautiful, but utilitarian."
In response to a question about the timing of the next-generation vehicle, Musk's response was that Tesla would not be releasing any information at this time.
