Tesla’s Big Plans for 2025: Affordable Model 2 and Facelifts for Model S and X

Tesla is gearing up for an exciting 2025 with the launch of its most affordable car yet, tentatively called the Model 2 (or Model Q). According to Tesla’s chief engineer, Lars Moravy, the challenge has been to keep the quality high despite the lower price tag—promising that the Model 2 won’t be a major downgrade from the brand’s current lineup.
🔑 Key Highlights:
-
Price Point: The Model 2 is expected to hit the market at around $22,000–$25,000 (possibly after subsidies). This would make it Tesla’s most budget-friendly EV.
-
Range and Specs: Rumors suggest the compact car will have a 54 kWh battery, offering 250–300 miles of range on a full charge—thanks to its lighter design.
-
Design: Think of it as a smaller Model Y in both style and functionality. Recent drone footage from Giga Texas hints that a test model might already be in development.
🚗 More Than Just Budget-Friendly Cars:
Tesla isn’t stopping at affordability. The company also plans to give the Model S and Model X a fresh facelift, aiming for a full lineup refresh in 2025. While details are scarce, these upgrades are set to give longtime Tesla fans something to look forward to.
🔄 What’s Next?
Before diving into these major updates, Tesla is focused on ramping up production for the Model Y Juniper refresh, utilizing four of its global Gigafactories.
If Tesla pulls this off, 2025 could be a groundbreaking year for making EVs more accessible—without compromising on performance or quality.
