The Tesla next-generation vehicle (codenamed "Redwood", using an architecture internally referred to as "NV9X")[1] is an electric car platform under development by Tesla. The next-generation vehicle will be the third mainstream platform for the company, and it is expected that production volumes will greatly surpass those of the Model 3/Y platform.[2] Although the vehicle has not been given an official name, the moniker Model 2 has been used to refer to the vehicle in the media.[3] The car will be manufactured at Gigafactory Texas, Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg, and the planned Gigafactory Mexico.
The vehicle will take advantage of Tesla's advanced production concepts such as large single-unit castings, the "Unboxed Process," a 48-volt architecture,[4] and a structural battery pack utilizing 4680 battery cells.[2] It is expected to cost considerably less to manufacture and sell for approximately half of Tesla's existing lowest-cost vehicles.
In January 2024, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the first car to use the platform will be a compact SUV, with US deliveries targeting the second half of 2025.[5] In April 2024, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that a Robotaxi will be unveiled on 8 August 2024. [6]
