Tesla's Possible Upcoming Products
Tesla, the electric car giant, has always been known for pushing the boundaries of what's possible with electric vehicles. And now, with CEO Elon Musk's recent statement during the company's Q4 2022 earnings call, speculation is mounting about what new products the company may be working on. I think Tesla will talk about its future products more on March 1st, during the Tesla Investor Day. At least, Tesla has promised to talk about or present its Gen-3 platform.
One potential product is a Tesla-branded electric airplane. Musk has previously expressed interest in developing electric planes, and with the company's expertise in battery technology and electric powertrains, it's not difficult to imagine Tesla making a significant impact in the aviation industry. An electric plane would have significant benefits over traditional gas-powered planes, including reduced noise pollution and lower operating costs.
Another exciting possibility is that Tesla is working on a new line of autonomous electric vehicles. The company has already made significant strides in autonomous driving technology, and with the increasing demand for self-driving cars, a Tesla-branded autonomous vehicle could be a game changer.
Lastly, one more speculation is that Tesla might be working on developing a new type of battery technology that would significantly increase the range and reduce the cost of electric vehicles. This would be a game-changer for the industry and would make electric vehicles even more competitive with traditional gas-powered cars. In fact, take a look at the battery of the Tesla Semi here. It's huge.
Of course, these are just speculation at this point and it's important to note that Tesla has not confirmed any of these products. However, with Musk's statement that the company's new products will "blow people's minds," it's clear that Tesla has some exciting developments in the works. Whatever the company has in store, one thing is certain - the world will be watching with great interest.

“Improved margins: After
“Improved margins: After price cuts, Tesla's gross margins have exceeded 20%.” If Tesla’s margins are that high AFTER price cuts, that means they have been gouging their customers up this point. Eventually taking advantage of your customer base like this will catch up. Seems they boosted their short term sales at the expense of good will to their existing customers. Good luck with that strategy.
