If you thought Tesla was reserved for tech geeks and crypto-millionaires with garages bigger than your living room, we have good news for you: the new Tesla Model Q is coming, a vehicle that is supposed to – finally – combine affordability with entry into the electric future. Price? Under $30,000. Launch? June 2025. Elon Musk? Of course, he's already bidding on Xu.
A new one Tesla The Model Q is said to share a platform with Tesla's upcoming robotaxi Cybercab – to those who (one day) will be able to take their grandmother to the market and back completely independently, without getting angry in traffic. Both vehicles will be produced in the factory Giga Texas, where component assembly is already underway, and laser-aligned production lines are reportedly already whispering the name "Q".
A common platform means lower costs, faster development and – at least in theory – better accessibility for customers. Of course, the question remains: will the Model Q be a more popular car or another digital fetish for Tesla believers?
Test drive for the future: FSD first learns on the Model Y
Before the Model Q becomes a robot that gets you to your appointment without a single swear in traffic, Tesla will launch in June 2025 testing the FSD (Full Self-Driving) function on Model Ys – with 10 to 20 test vehicles in Austin, Texas. There, artificial intelligence, probably in a slightly overheated air conditioning system, will learn to recognize traffic lights, pedestrians and drivers who still think turn signals are optional equipment.
If all goes according to plan, FSD will of course be extended to the Model Q, which is expected to be one of the first affordable models with autonomous features. The Model Q will likely be the first car to be delivered to a customer's home rather than picked up at a Tesla showroom.
What to expect from Model Q (besides less credit and more Instagram likes)
Although Tesla is officially still as silent as Siri during a WiFi outage, it is rumored that the Model Q will:
- compact SUV, long about 4.2 meters, perfect for European streets and postage stamp-sized city parking lots,
- based on a new generation platform with ultra-advanced manufacturing techniques (read: even more robots, even less human error),
- fastest production time in history – low production costs
- had a battery 53 kWh, which should enable up to 500 km range – provided you don't drive like Max Verstappen on coffee,
- Consumption is expected to be around 13 kWh per 100 km. Which is a realistic projection. The car will not be overly “powerful”, we expect under 200 horses and only rear-wheel drive.
- and maybe – if the stars and algorithms align – too autonomous driving, which doesn't need your nerves. Or rather, it will be safer than you.
Many claim that the new Tesla Model Q will look quite different from other vehicles.
Conclusion: Model Q or how Tesla seeks the masses
The Model Q is Tesla's answer to an age-old question: How to make an electric car that even someone who doesn't mine cryptocurrencies can afford? By merging production lines with Cybercab, testing FSD, and cutting costs, the Model Q delivers not just a new model—it delivers a new philosophy. A truly accessible and highly advanced car that is essentially a robot.
If Tesla really pulls this off (without moving the date by two years, as it knows how), we're in for a really interesting period in the world of electric mobility.
