Tesla plans cheaper $25,000 electric car within 3 years: Musk

Elon Musk has said that Tesla plans to produce an electric car with a price tag of $25,000 within the next three years.

The aim, said Musk on Battery Day on Tuesday, is to make Tesla electric cars more affordable for the masses.

"That will basically be on-par or slightly better than a comparable gasoline car. This has always been our dream to make an affordable electric car," he said during the virtual presentation.

The cheapest Tesla Model 3 that made its debut in February 2019 currently costs $35,000. it offers a 350-km range, a top speed of 210 km per hour and acceleration from 0-100 km per hour in 5.6 seconds.

"Tesla says has only been made possible by shifting sales to an online-only platform and by winding down physical outlets," reports ZDNet.
