About the company’s plans said the head of Tesla Elon Musk during the conference devoted to results of the first quarter of 2017. He noted that the new crossover will be constructed on a new platform that will not only simplify the design of the car, but also significantly reduce the cost of production.
Previously, Tesla had planned to release a similar Model Y Model 3 platform, but later decided to abandon the idea, instead, reworking the design of the machine. In the production crossover, the engineers plan to abandon the usual ways of power electronics, simultaneously reducing the wiring and simplifying the Assembly process machines. Almost no details about the crossover have not yet been reported, we only know that the car plan to provide upward opening doors, like the Model X.
Musk said that production of the Model Y Tesla is planning to equip a new automated Assembly line, which will significantly increase production volumes and to produce up to a million vehicles a year. As of now, Tesla has more immediate problems: first you need to put on stream production of the Model 3 and fully meet customer demand for new.
