Elon Musk revealed earlier at Tesla's 2023 annual shareholder meeting that the company has begun trial production of a new model. He also stated that the electric truck Cybertruck will begin delivery this year, with an estimated production volume of between 25 and 50 units. He also stated that Model Y will become the world's best-selling electric vehicle this year.
Tesla may also change its past practice of not doing any traditional advertising and may start placing promotional advertisements in specific mainstream media.
In addition, Elon Musk also mentioned the progress of fully autonomous driving development, the humanoid robot Optimus, and his views on taking over the management of Twitter and the impact of the current economic environment at this shareholder meeting.
Elon Musk emphasized the importance of investing in the development of fully autonomous driving technology, and believed that the future market demand for humanoid robots will far outweigh vehicles. He also explained that he is currently investing in the research and development of new battery technology to promote the development of electric vehicle products and accelerate the progress of the previously proposed "Grand Plan."
At the same time, Tesla also stated that it will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2022 million tons in 1400, and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% when manufacturing each vehicle model, and reduce water consumption by 15%. Elon Musk even emphasized that no child labor is employed in the production process of all components, emphasizing that it is a socially responsible company.
In response to investors' questions, Elon Musk also explained that there are no plans to invest in the production of SUV electric vehicle products at this stage, but emphasized that the Cybertruck can be easily converted into an SUV. He also revealed that the development and design of the next Roadster will be completed within this year, and hopes to put it into mass production as early as next year.
