A small electric vehicle to be determined (TBD) will be equipped with a 53kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with a target sales volume of 42 million units.

Medium-sized cars, such as the Tesla Model 3 / Y, will be equipped with 75kWh lithium iron phosphate batteries with a target sales volume of 24 million units.

Large sedans, SUVs and trucks, such as Tesla Model S / X and Cybertruck electric pickups, will be equipped with 100kWh high-nickel batteries and target sales of 9 million units.

Long-life heavy trucks (such as Tesla Semi Heavy) will be equipped with 800kWh high-nickel batteries and target sales of 2 million vehicles.

The table also mentions Tesla commercial/freight cars, Tesla buses, etc., equipped with 100kWh high nickel batteries and 300kWh lithium iron phosphate batteries, respectively.

In another image, Tesla shows two new cars with unannounced appearances, one of which is expected to be a sedan and the other looks taller.

Tesla plans to launch a low-cost model, positioned as a "small Model Y," with an annual capacity of up to 4 million vehicles, half of which will be produced in North America and the other half divided equally between Germany and China, according to 36 Krypton.

Tesla CEO Musk revealed in 2020 that the company is developing autonomous battery technology to make a $25,000 self-driving electric car possible. In March, Tesla chief engineer Lars Moravy also said the company wanted to build "next-generation" cars at half the cost of the current Model 3 or Model Y.

If Tesla cuts its current costs by half to produce cars, it means that the price of new products will drop to 150,000 yuan or less. However, according to the report, depending on the construction progress of the factory, mass production of the "150,000 yuan model" may not come soon. A source said,"At least it will take more than a year. "
