Elon Musk Says Tesla Working On Mini-Car That Can Fit an Adult
Aug. 6, 2018Bullish on the performance and increased production of “Model 3” cars, Tesla CEO Elon Musk is now planning to introduce a mini-car.
“We’re working on a new Tesla mini-car that can squeeze in an adult,” Musk tweeted on Sunday, replying to a user who asked him about a “Model X Radio Flyer” toy car.
The “Model S Radio Flyer” toy car which is currently available for children in the age group of three to eight, comes with a 130 watt battery pack.
Musk, however, did not elaborate on when the Tesla mini-car will hit the roads.
Tesla is producing roughly 7,000 Model 3, Model S and Model X vehicles per week.
In July, Model 3 — that comes with a base price tag of $35,000 — not only had the top market share position in its segment in the US, but it also outsold all other mid-sized premium sedans combined — accounting for 52 per cent of the segment overall.
The company expects to produce 50,000-55,000 Model 3s in Q3.
