To do this, Tesla will require at least one new model and now UK mag Autocar is reporting that the next model will be a four-door saloon similar in size to BMW’s 5-series. This car will be joined by an updated version of the current roadster, with both due by the end of the decade.
In an interview with company vice-president Mike Harrigan, the magazine was told that the new sedan will mount the electric motor and batteries in the front of the vehicle and feature a rear-wheel drive layout. Production numbers are expected to range from 10,000 to 20,000 units annually, with an estimated price of £40,000 for the saloon and £30,000 for the new roadster.
