A Tesla prototype was noticed on the Fremont manufacturing unit in California, sparking hypothesis that it’s the brand new “cheaper Tesla”, nevertheless it seems like a daily Mannequin Y.
A drone operator flew over the Fremont manufacturing unit this week and noticed a Tesla prototype with mild camouflage on the back and front ends.
The car is making lots of people speak on social media and the media as many assume it might be a brand new “reasonably priced mannequin” coming to Tesla.
Apart from the camouflage, the car seems identical to a daily Mannequin Y:
It’s doubtless one among two issues: a brand new “stripped-down Mannequin Y” or a Mannequin Y Efficiency.

Subsequently, Tesla canceled the automobiles program based mostly on the brand new platform and determined to construct new automobiles on Mannequin 3/Y platform utilizing the identical manufacturing strains.
We beforehand reported that these electrical automobiles will doubtless look similar to Mannequin 3 and Mannequin Y.
In latest months, a number of different media experiences strengthened that, and Tesla all however confirmed it throughout its newest earnings name.
Contemplating this seems like a daily Mannequin Y, it might be the brand new cheaper and fewer function wealthy Mannequin Y:
Some persons are claiming that this car seems smaller than the Mannequin Y, nevertheless it’s troublesome to inform because the black camouflage on the ends can confuse the attention.
It seems like a really comparable dimension when it passes close to different Tesla automobiles:
