Through its electric automobiles, solar systems, and integrated renewable energy solutions, Tesla has become one of the most well-known names in the industry, speeding our shift to clean energy sources. Tesla has not only altered the way automobiles work, but it has also made a hugely beneficial contribution to sustainable living.
Electric vehicles are currently unthinkable without the help of Tesla and Elon Musk! And they have no intention of slowing down anytime soon. In today's article, we'll discuss Elon Musk's announcement of three new Tesla cars set to debut in 2023. Let's get closer!
For 2023, Elon Musk has announced three new Tesla models.
In recent years, Tesla has risen to become one of the world's leading electric vehicle manufacturers, if not the leader. Tesla has become so synonymous with electric vehicles that it is nearly impossible to discuss them without mentioning Musk or Tesla.

Tesla has encountered some hurdles due to suspected safety flaws with its vehicles, but it has overcome them. Indeed, they started selling more cars than ever before!The impact of this exponential increase in EV distribution can be seen in the company's share price, which has recently risen significantly.
Elon Musk has stated that the company plans to release three different Tesla automobile models in the year 2023. If all goes according to plan, 2023 will be a watershed moment for the corporation.
Tesla hasn't released many electric car models yet because they value quality over quantity. But, if they can release three incredible models in the same year, it will be an incredible achievement!

1. A Tesla Car for $25,000?
Elon Musk has made it clear that he wants Tesla to be a household name. However, given the current price of electric vehicles, it goes without saying that they are out of reach for a vast number of people. However, with the $25,000 Tesla model, affordability will be obsolete!
Musk previously stated that Tesla was working on the concept of a cheap automobile type, which would most likely cost around $25,000. He recently indicated that manufacture of the car will begin in 2023, and that it may even reach the market.
Tesla's $25,000 electric car has the potential to completely transform the EV market. It will make Tesla a very difficult company to compete with. Tesla hasn't given the car a name yet, but it's expected to be called the Model 2. Musk also stated that the Model 2 will most likely not come with a steering wheel.
Although we are all familiar with autonomous driving, we are discussing Level 5 autonomy here. This means the car will be able to navigate around any barriers like a professional driver. As a result of technological advancements, we may eventually see cars with steering wheels or even pedals!
Musk introduced the company's new unique battery during Tesla's Battery Day 2020, which will not only lower costs but also significantly extend battery life. Because the battery is one of the most significant aspects of electric vehicles that determines their range and power, the 4860 battery is likely to be the key for this inexpensive Tesla model.
Tesla formerly outsourced its batteries, but with the new battery, it will concentrate on producing these power packs in-house. This will considerably lower the cost and assist them in meeting the Model 2 price point.

2. The Tesla Roadster
Tesla's Roadster was the company's first electric vehicle, and it's also their fastest. People were quite interested in the Roadster, but sales were not as high as predicted due to its expensive price.
In 2012, the Roadster was phased out of production after four years. However, Tesla later revealed its plans for the 2nd generation Roadster, claiming it would be the greatest electric vehicle on the market. Although the construction of the second generation Roadster has been delayed for several years, Tesla is slated to begin production in 2023.
If the Roadster performs as expected, the 2nd generation Roadster will undoubtedly dominate the high-end EV market. With its Gigafactories in Shanghai and Berlin, Tesla will undoubtedly consider increasing production. Let's take a closer look at what this monster has to offer.
The Tesla Roadster will be a four-seater, all-wheel-drive sports car capable of reaching 60 miles per hour in under 1.9 seconds, according to Tesla. Aren't those some astounding figures? Aside from the base model, Musk has hinted at a premium variant that would most likely include a SpaceX package!
Yes, Tesla intends to install roughly ten miniature rocket thrusters that will be integrated into the car's design. These rockets are expected to boost the car's acceleration, top speed, braking, and cornering capabilities.
According to rumours, this will be Tesla's version of a flying automobile! On the other hand, Tesla is working hard to innovate as much as possible in order to provide the greatest possible experience to its customers. Tesla also claims that the car will have a 200 kWh battery, which is twice the size of any Tesla model's battery. It should also have a range of about 1000 kilometres.
The new Roadster will have three motors, one in the front and two in the back, enabling all-wheel drive. Without saying anything, we all know the Roadster will be available with significantly improved self-drive technology.

3. The Cybertruck
Musk also disclosed that production of the much-anticipated CyberTruck will begin in late 2022, with full production beginning in 2023. The CyberTruck has a steel exoskeleton that Tesla claims is the same steel that Musk's own spaceflight company, SpaceX, uses for its rockets.
This beast's projected range is around 800 kilometres, and its acceleration from 0 to 60 miles per hour is as quick as 2.9 seconds. The CyberTruck may not be available in Europe very soon due to its large size and design.
Musk, on the other hand, may be unconcerned about this, considering the United States is the world's largest market for pickup trucks! The truck also has self-leveling suspension, which compensates for the truck's various loads. The Cybertruck will be available in a variety of configurations, some of which may have all-wheel drive. If the latter is successful, it will also have Tesla's all-new 4680 battery.
The vehicle will be equipped with power inverters, eliminating the need to transport portable generators. Users will also be able to use the truck's own power. It was also claimed that these vehicles could come with solar roof options that would extend their range by around 15 miles.

Tesla's Bonus!
As a bonus, Tesla is also intending to provide an autonomous driving van called the Robo Van as a bonus. We know Tesla has a number of initiatives in the works, but the business appears to be interested in breaking new ground!
According to Elon Musk, the Robo Van will be more of a mass transportation vehicle, making travel easier for people with disabilities. This means that the Robo Van's entry and egress will be highly optimised.
These features will make it the ideal means of transportation for people with impairments who find it difficult to access other modes of transportation. Active air suspension, which will also be used in the CyberTruck, will aid in this endeavour.
The Robo Van is intended to have a capacity of 12 passengers, which is higher than any Tesla vehicle to date. Musk's Boring Company has already said that it will build a loop transit system to make transportation far more convenient than it is presently.
The Robo Van will be the ideal complement to the system! Though the Robo Van is still a concept, nothing seems too far away with Tesla's cutting-edge technology! All of Tesla's cars for 2023 were intended to be in production by now, but due to different shortages and ongoing research and development, the deadlines kept getting pushed back.
Musk isn't known for sticking to his schedule, but he felt very certain about his assertions this time. With all of the Giga Factories expected to be nearly full, Tesla may be able to deliver on their promises for the upcoming year this year!
If Tesla achieves all of its objectives within the timeframe stated, 2023 will undoubtedly be one of the most important years in the company's history, with three to four new automobiles in production. Along with the manufacture of older models, Tesla is rapidly approaching its goal of being the industry leader.
