Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk shared on his Twitter plans regarding a new type of transport. It is expected that a prototype of this vehicle will be shown to the public as early as next year.
There is not much information about the new Tesla project yet. It is known that this vehicle will be more compact than the usual models, since it does not provide a place for a driver. To use such a bus, passengers will need to press a special button at the stop.
In addition, Musk mentioned that based on the Model III sedan, the company plans to create a more affordable crossover. In the manufacturer's lineup, this budget model will be positioned one step below the Model X crossover. Probably, the new product will be called Model Y. The car will be equipped with a battery with a capacity of about 70 kilowatt-hours.
Tesla Motors, specializing in the production of electric vehicles, was founded in 2003. Since 2008, the company has been selling the Tesla Roadster sports car. In 2012, the manufacturer introduced the Model S sedan. The company's office is located in Palo Alto, California. The number of employees exceeds two thousand people.
