Built on Tesla’s next-generation platform, the Model Q aims to revolutionize the compact EV market, offering affordability without compromising performance. Production is expected to begin at Tesla’s gigafactory in Mexico, utilizing advanced manufacturing techniques like structural battery packs and Giga casting to lower costs.

The Model Q is projected to measure approximately 3,988 mm in length, making it 15% shorter than the Model 3, and it could weigh around 2,554 lbs, enhancing energy efficiency. With a base battery configuration of 53 kWh, the Model Q is expected to deliver a range of up to 310 miles. Tesla aims to produce 10,000 units per week by mid-2025, targeting a total of 500,000 vehicles annually.
