Without more info about these new products, however, it’s hard to have much of an opinion on the claim, but this is where we are for now. But it is worth noting that the Model 3 and Model Y have achieved the massive scale, low manufacturing costs, and great margins Tesla predicted. There are differences of opinion on how valid these broad claims are. Of course, this broad claim of being far ahead of the rest of the industry is nothing new either - it’s been a common refrain for years. That said, Tesla is focused on the manufacturing side of these vehicles already, as Musk added: “both the design of the products and the manufacturing techniques are head and shoulders above anything else that is present in industry.” (Not the auto industry, but industry in general.) Tesla has been focused on “design for manufacturing” since the Model 3, so it’s not new that manufacturing methods would be taken into account during the design phase, but his statement here about Tesla innovation seems noteworthy. With the coming models still in design stages, I wouldn’t expect one to arrive in 2023, and probably not even 2024. We’re not sitting on our hands here.” So, note that by “building,” he didn’t mean “producing.” He later said “There are two new products that I think you will be very excited about” - not just one. ![]() ![]() However, he also used the word “designing” right after that: “We are actually designing a new product. “I just want to emphasize that we are actually building a new product,” Musk said at first. Tesla CEO Elon Musk indicated that the company is toiling away at bringing two new products to market. However, let’s look at a few of the highlights.įirst of all, as many have been hoping, or at least arguing was needed, Tesla is working hard on new models to diversify its product lineup.
