Tesla is working on a hatchback that will feature new battery and motor tech, and be the brand's cheapest car by a huge margin. Here's everything we know about it so far. 👇
Early design sketches shown during a recent Tesla investor event revealed the model to have a high bonnet line, a squat roof and wheels pushed out to the corners in a bid to maximise interior space. Indeed, in some respects the Model 2 should be even more practical than today’ssaloon; in place of that model’s narrow boot opening, the Model 2 has a hatch, making it easier to load and unload bulky items.
While its full technical specifications are still under wraps, we do know that the Model 2 will make use of a new generation of electric motors that don’t use any rare earth metals in their construction. The cost of acquiring such materials is a major factor that contributes towards the cost of current electric cars. However, don’t expect those motors to be any less powerful than those used by today’s Teslas.
The Model 2’s battery will also be new and more efficient than the brand’s current batteries, using technology that’s claimed to enable up to 16% more range per kilowatt hour. In theory, that means a battery that’s half the capacity of the 60kWh unit used in the Model 3 could take the Model 2 around 180 miles between charges.
Getting a Model 3 from 10-80% takes 27 minutes using the Supercharger network, and this is likely to be fall to as little as 15 minutes in the Model 2.
