Part 3/7:
The forthcoming lineup is speculated to include a compact SUV and a sedan, aiming to address this affordability gap. These models will essentially serve as simplified versions of the refresh Model 3 and Y, stripping down premium features that, while luxurious, inflate production costs. This approach would enable Tesla to produce electric vehicles at a price point closer to what everyday consumers can afford.

- Exterior Aesthetics: The refreshed Model Y’s full light bars, although aesthetically appealing, may not find their way into the more affordable models. The potential cost savings here could be significant, allowing resources to be better allocated towards essentials.
