Talking about electric cars, Tesla secures a spot on the podium. Besides the green technology, there appears to be no end to the company’s high-priced vehicles.
In October 2022, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, revealed that the company is working on a plan to come up with a next-generation platform to launch a car at half price of the ruling Model 3 and Model Y. And months after, the company is all set to launch a small and affordable crossover in China following Model 3.
As per the details, the upcoming car stands toe to toe with Honda HR-V in terms of size. Coming to the price of the car, the company is gearing up to unveil the new-entry level Tesla in 2023 with a price tag of Rs. 6.6 million.
Earlier in 2018, Musk proposed a low-price Tesla model saying that it would be produced in 2021. Later on, he made an announcement narrating that the vehicle would debut in 2023. There is no information pertaining to the launch date, but the photos of the car report that the launch is imminent.
Tesla Recalls More Than 360,000 Cars
Tesla’s self-driving software is the company’s most advanced auto-pilot system. The software controls features like cruise control as well as steering. On top of that, the software has the ability to identify stop signs as well as read traffic lights and abide by them.
The issue occurred when Tesla’s self-driving software caused a multi-car crash on the highway as it shifted lanes and stopped abruptly. Tesla claimed that it is unaware of any accidents taking place due to the software. Officials from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) met with Tesla officials and discussed their concerns regarding the “full self-driving” beta software.
In response, Tesla has recalled 363,000 cars to update their software. The company claims that it is updating Tesla’s self-driving software “out of an abundance of caution”. The major concern of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) was that the software did not stop the cars at stop signs and drove through intersections unpredictably.
