Another fascinating aspect of the Model 2’s strategy involves Tesla's approach to battery technology. Speculations suggest that the vehicle will make use of Tesla's 4680 battery cells, originally designed to lower production costs while maintaining high safety standards. Moreover, manufacturing these batteries in-house means Tesla can take advantage of current U.S. government incentives aimed at encouraging domestic production.
In a market where wholesalers face a 25% tariff on imported vehicles and additional taxes on Chinese imports, Tesla's strategy to produce domestically presents a significant advantage. By focusing on local sourcing and manufacturing, the Model 2 is likely to remain financially accessible for American customers.
