During the month of May, the head of Tesla, Elon Musk, had clarified its compact vehicle projects: a mainstream price sedan and crossover would be launched "in three or four years." Last week, at the meeting of shareholders of Tesla, he said that the sedan would be launched in 2016, it would have family resemblances with the Model S, the autonomous driving elements, if a real autopilot 'has not yet developed, and would have a 320 km range. All for a suggested retail price of about $ 30,000.
This is what is called setting the bar high. Moreover, Mr. Musk admitted to Automotive News that "a major technological breakthrough is needed to reach a compelling electric car." His definition of "convincing"? "A useful range of 200 miles [321 km]," he said.
Mr. Musk called sedan project and affordable electric crossover "Gen III"; as in generation of cars 3, following the Tesla Roadster (1st generation) as well as the Tesla S currently for sale and Tesla X crossover, to be launched in late 2015.

Good Month Of May for Tesla
In terms of sales, Tesla had a good month of May. It sold 1,453 copies of the Model S, unless the 2138 Nissan Leaf and Volt in 1607 sold during the same period. But the Model S is a luxury car priced between 60 000 and 100 000 and its profit margins are surely superior to those of Nissan's all-electric car and GM with its gasoline-electric hybrid.
Both cars are relatively cheap compared to the Model S and the two manufacturers are still learning how to reduce production costs with this new technology. Neither Nissan nor GM will probably still make a profit with their electrified cars celebrities. GM recently reported that the next generation of the Volt will be less expensive and profitable
