Tesla’s 2023 Investor Day: A Glimpse into the Future of Electric Vehicles
Tesla, the world’s leading electric vehicle maker, held its 2023 Investor Day on March 1st, where it unveiled its new vehicle platform and its ambitious Master Plan 3. The event was live-streamed from its Gigafactory in Texas and attracted millions of viewers and investors who were eager to see what Tesla had in store for the future.
Here are some of the highlights from the event:
- Tesla announced its new generation 3 platform, which will enable it to produce low-cost and high-performance electric vehicles for mass markets. The platform will be based on a unified battery pack and powertrain design, a simplified wiring system, and a modular architecture that can support various body styles and sizes. Tesla said that its first generation 3 vehicle will be the Model 2, a compact hatchback that will cost around $25,000.
- Tesla also revealed its Master Plan 3, which is a continuation of its original vision to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. The plan consists of four main pillars: (1) expanding its vehicle portfolio to cover all major segments and regions; (2) scaling up its battery production and supply chain to meet growing demand; (3) developing full self-driving capabilities and autonomous ride-hailing services; and (4) integrating its energy products with its vehicles to create a closed-loop system.
- Tesla showcased some of its upcoming products and features that will be based on its generation 3 platform and Master Plan 3. These include: (a) a cybertruck-inspired pickup truck that will compete with Ford’s F-150 Lightning; (b) a compact SUV that will rival Toyota’s RAV4 Prime; (c) a redesigned Model S Plaid+ that will have over 1,000 horsepower and a range of over 500 miles; (d) a solar roof that can charge an electric vehicle directly; (e) a bi-directional charger that can power other devices or grid services from an electric vehicle’s battery; and (f) a neural network dojo that can train artificial intelligence models faster than any supercomputer.
- Tesla also shared some of its financial and operational metrics that demonstrate its strong performance and growth potential. The company reported that it delivered over one million vehicles in 2022, achieving an annual growth rate of over 50%. It also said that it achieved positive free cash flow for the tenth consecutive quarter, reaching $5 billion in Q4 2022. It also said that it expects to increase its production capacity to over five million vehicles per year by 2025.
