The CEO told investors in January 2022 that the company wasn’t working on the car, then said nine months later that a next-generation platform that will cost roughly half what the Model 3 does to build was “the primary focus of our new-vehicle development team.”</p><p>The earliest Tesla may be able to produce a model off this platform in volume is 2025, Toni Sacconaghi, a Bernstein analyst with the equivalent of a sell rating on the stock, wrote in a Feb. 22 report.

The CEO has already confirmed plans to refine lithium in Texas, and Tesla has been mulling a takeover of miner Sigma Lithium, Bloomberg reported last month.</p><h3>Autonomy</h3><p>Musk wrote in 2016 that all Teslas were about to have the hardware necessary to navigate streets on their own. The company has since changed the equipment in its cars multiple times, requiring retrofits that Musk said would be free, then charged $1,000 to carry out. Tesla pivoted from using radar years after the CEO said such sensors may have prevented a fatal crash, and now may use them again.</p><p>Recently, Musk has been teasing a dedicated robotaxi, casting doubt on whether models already on the road will ever be able to autonomously pick up passengers and earn their owners $30,000 a year, as he claimed back in 2019.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7f6db6e838045b0a95b3cc297ad1684b\" tg-width=\"800\" tg-height=\"458\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>In January, Musk said Tesla is planning several more hardware iterations and will cease retrofits, risking the wrath of customers who’ve paid as much as $15,000 for what the company calls Full Self-Driving, or FSD. Tesla’s rollout of that feature — which supports drivers who are responsible for operating their car at all times — is on pause due to a recall of almost 363,000 vehicles.</p><p>Musk will want to choose his words carefully if he decides to broach this subject at another investor day. The US Justice Department has asked Tesla for documents related to Tesla’s Autopilot and FSD features, and Bloomberg has reported the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating his role in shaping the company’s self-driving car claims.</p><h3>Factories</h3><p>Tesla has four car factories — in California, Texas, China and Germany — that it’s said have the capacity to make more than 1.9 million vehicles a year. Musk set a moonshot goal to sell 20 million EVs a year by the end of the decade, which would require a whole lot more plants.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/256e074da91540434f37b966dedb19be\" tg-width=\"800\" tg-height=\"615\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla Model Ys at the automaker&#39;s factory outside Berlin.</span></p><p>Tesla has started pilot production of Semi trucks in Nevada at the battery factory it’s expanding as part of a $3.6 billion investment announced in January.
