Ua palekana ʻo Toyota Corolla Hybrid i kēia manawa! ʻO ka hōʻano hou ʻana o Tesla ma kāna kaʻa uila liʻiliʻi he $ 25,000 e hoʻohiki nei e lawe i ka mana kūʻokoʻa i ka lehulehu.

ʻO ka hatchback liʻiliʻi o ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo "Model 2" e kau ʻia ma lalo o ka mid-size Model 3 sedan - inā ʻike ʻia.

Makemake ʻoe e kūʻai i kaʻa uila holoʻokoʻa (EV) akā e ʻike mau ʻo nā kaʻa haʻahaʻa loa i pāpā ʻia? ʻAe, ke manaʻo nei ka loea kaʻa uila ʻo Tesla e hoʻoponopono i kēia pilikia, akā ʻaʻole i kekahi manawa koke, inā ʻaʻole.

E like me ka hōʻike ʻana, i Kepakemapa 2020, hoʻolaha ʻo Tesla i nā hoʻolālā e hoʻolauna i kahi hatchback liʻiliʻi "European style" $25,000 (35,562 AU $2023) a puni ka hopena o 2. me ka ʻaha kūkā inoa aliʻi nui.

Ma waho aʻe Kumu he hōʻike i ka mahina o Iune i ʻōlelo ai e hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka Model 2 i ka Nissan Leaf, Hyundai Ioniq Electric a me Volkswagen ID.3 me kahi pākaukau hou he 50 pakeneka ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka hana ʻana a hāʻawi i ka 16 pakeneka ʻoi aku ka nui, mai ka manawa a mākou i lohe iki ai. a hiki i keia manawa.

Ma kahi hālāwai Q&A ma hope o ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka hopena kālā o Tesla Q4 2021Q, ua hāʻawi ka mea hoʻokumu ʻo Elon Musk i kahi hoʻopiʻi belated i kahi hiʻohiʻona XNUMX i manaʻo ʻia e hiki ke hāʻawi i nā mea kūʻai aku Toyota Corolla Hybrid i mea e noʻonoʻo ai.

"ʻAʻole mākou e hana nei i kahi kaʻa $25,000," wahi āna. "I kekahi lā e hana mākou. Akā ua lawa kā mākou hana i kēia manawa - ʻoiaʻiʻo, nui loa ka hana. "

Pono ʻole e ʻōlelo, ʻo ka Model 2 he mea ʻē aʻe ma mua o kahi manaʻo i kēia manawa, me Tesla i kēia manawa e kālele ana i ka Cybertruck full-size pickup, ke kaʻa haʻuki Roadster, a me ka kaʻa Semi, i hoʻopaneʻe ʻia i nā manawa he nui. .

Ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana, ua hōʻike ʻo Mr. Musk ʻaʻohe manaʻo o Tesla e hoʻomaka i nā hiʻohiʻona hou no 2022, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻaʻole e hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka Cybertruck, Roadster, a me Semi a hiki i 2023.

ʻO kēia, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole hiki i ka Model 2 ke hiki mai a hiki i 2024 a i ʻole, inā ʻaʻole. A no nā mākeke koʻikoʻi e like me ʻAmelika ʻĀkau a me ʻEulopa. Aia ʻo Australia ma ke kua o ka laina, no laila hiki ke hana ʻia kahi hoʻomaka kūloko i ka hopena o kēia ʻumi makahiki.

I kēia manawa, ʻo ka Model 3 midsize sedan ka mea hiki ke kūʻai aku i nā kumu hoʻohālike Tesla e hiki ai i nā Australia ke kūʻai aku, me kāna ʻano ʻano komo-level e hoʻomaka ana ma $59,900 me nā kumukūʻai huakaʻi, ʻoiai ke loaʻa nā mea hoʻoikaika EV i kēlā me kēia mokuʻāina.
