Tesla is making significant progress towards achieving its goals for the second quarter of 2025. The automaker has already achieved a major milestone by launching the Robotaxi platform in Austin, which is considered one of its biggest accomplishments this year. However, there are still two key milestones that Tesla is focused on completing before the end of the quarter.
One of the major goals for Tesla is the development and unveiling of affordable models. The company has reiterated its commitment to introducing affordable models that will be built on both the next-gen platform and the current vehicle platform. In the Q4 2024 Earnings Call, Tesla confirmed that preparations are underway for the launch of new products in 2025, including more affordable models. These vehicles will utilize aspects of the next generation platform and the current platforms, and production is scheduled to start in the first half of 2025. While Tesla has not confirmed any delays, it is expected that the affordable models will be unveiled before the quarter ends.
Recently, there have been sightings of a potential affordable model at the Fremont Factory, although it is more likely that the vehicle seen was the new Model Y Performance trim. Tesla continues to work towards delivering on its promise of introducing affordable models to the market.
Another key milestone for Tesla is the self-delivery of vehicles to customers. CEO Elon Musk announced in late May that the first Tesla to self-deliver would happen in June. This would involve testing self-driving Model Y cars on public streets in Austin with no incidents. The self-delivery process would involve loading vehicles onto haulers and driving them to customer homes from delivery centers, showrooms, and repair centers. This innovative approach to vehicle delivery demonstrates Tesla’s commitment to enhancing the customer experience.
As Tesla races towards the end of the second quarter, it has a few days left to complete these tasks and report delivery figures for the quarter. The company’s dedication to innovation and progress is evident in its efforts to achieve these milestones and deliver on its promises to customers. Stay tuned for updates on Tesla’s progress as it strives to revolutionize the automotive industry.
