Tesla just lit the fuse on the most ambitious electric vehicle rollout the world has ever seen.
During the Q1 2025 earnings call, Elon Musk confirmed what the EV community has long speculated: the Tesla Model 2 is real, it’s coming soon, and it’s gunning for the global mass market. Musk’s bold production strategy doesn’t just aim to launch the Model 2—it aims to revolutionize how EVs are made, shipped, and sold worldwide.
“The full utilization of our factories is the primary goal,” Musk emphasized, as Tesla moves closer to flipping the switch on what could be the EV version of the Ford Model T.
🚀 Ground Zero: Gigafactory Texas
Forget China. Forget Germany. The Model 2 revolution starts in Austin, Texas. Tesla’s Gigafactory Texas will kick off production as early as June 2025, with 10,000 vehicles per week right out of the gate. The long-term plan? Half a million units by the end of the year. One million annually by 2027.
How is this even possible?
Robots. Lots of robots.
Tesla plans to automate 80% of the Model 2’s assembly, slashing labor costs by 30% compared to the Model 3 and Model Y. This automation-first approach is what allows Tesla to aim for a jaw-dropping $25,000 base price—and still stay profitable.
🌎 Why Texas?
With over 12 million square feet, 15,000 workers, and $10+ billion already invested, Gigafactory Texas is a manufacturing titan. It runs entirely on solar and wind energy, cutting down operating costs by 15%. Austin’s central location means shipping costs to major U.S. cities are 20% cheaper than from California.
But this is just Phase One. A second Texas Gigafactory is already in the works, aiming to double production to 2 million units/year by 2028.
🔄 Regional Manufacturing: The Tesla Secret Weapon
Tesla isn’t just building EVs—it’s rebuilding the global automotive supply chain.
Instead of shipping cars across continents, Tesla is going local. Regional production hubs in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia will drastically cut delivery times. By late 2026, your Model 2 could arrive in just 3–5 days, compared to the current wait of 12–16 weeks.
💰 Real Savings for Real People
Tesla’s regional model isn’t just fast—it’s cheap. Here’s how the costs break down:
-
$1,800 saved on shipping
-
$2,200 saved on tariffs
-
$1,000 saved on production efficiency
-
Total savings: $3,200 per vehicle
And those savings? Passed directly to the customer.
Throw in low interest financing (as low as 0.9%), regional insurance discounts up to 25%, and tailor-made climate packages, and the Model 2 becomes the EV for everyone—not just tech bros or coastal elites.

Musk’s mission? To democratize clean transportation at scale, faster than any automaker in history.
“From New York to Sydney, this isn’t just a future for a few. It’s one for everyone.”
