2025 Tesla Redwood

After the delivery of Tesla’s Cybertruck began at the end of 2023, the company announced that it will soon launch a new compact electric crossover, the Tesla Redwood.

This information coincides with comments from Tesla boss Elon Musk last year, who said at a shareholder meeting that the company was working on two new electric models. He also said that these models will be far ahead of the competition, as well as what the automotive industry is offering at this time.

It is estimated that Tesla will produce 10,000 cars a week, and requests to suppliers related to the new model were sent last year. When it comes to production, the first examples of the Tesla Redwood should leave the production lines in mid-2025. By then we should have more information on this car.

The current Cybertruck will be offered in three powertrain versions. The most powerful is the Cyberbeast, which will be powered by three electric motors with a total power of 845 hp (630 kW) and 10,296 lb-ft (13,960 Nm) of torque. It will reach 60 mph in 2.6 seconds with a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph).

The entry-level version will be powered by a single engine and will have rear-wheel drive. It will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in about 9.6 seconds, and will have a range of 402 kilometers. This model will hit the market in 2025 and will cost $60,990.

The third version will have all-wheel drive, 600 hp (447 kW) and 13,667 lb-ft (10,080 Nm) of torque. It will reach 60 mph (100 km/h) in 4.1 seconds with a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph). The Cybertruck can tow 11,000 lbs (just under five tons) and have a payload capacity of about 1,134 kg of cargo, and will have a range of 340 miles (547 kilometers).

Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck

On November 30, Tesla officially started delivering the Cybertruck. It is a long-awaited car whose story began in 2019, and in July of this year, the media announced that the company had informed suppliers that the delivery of the vehicle would start by the end of the year.

The Cybertruck will be offered in three powertrain versions. The most powerful is the Cyberbeast, which will be powered by three electric motors with a total power of 845 hp (630 kW) and 10,296 lb-ft (13,960 Nm) of torque. It will reach 60 mph in 2.6 seconds with a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph).

The entry-level version will be powered by a single engine and will have rear-wheel drive. It will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in about 9.6 seconds, and will have a range of 402 kilometers. This model will hit the market in 2025 and will cost $60,990.

The third version will have all-wheel drive, 600 hp (447 kW) and 13,667 lb-ft (10,080 Nm) of torque. It will reach 60 mph (100 km/h) in 4.1 seconds with a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph). The Cybertruck can tow 11,000 lbs (just under five tons) and have a payload capacity of about 1,134 kg of cargo, and will have a range of 340 miles (547 kilometers).

Tesla is one of the few companies in the world that has its own production of all components for its vehicles. In the financial report for the third quarter of 2023, it was announced that the annual production capacity is 125,000 units of Cybertruck per year. The company could use a significant portion of the plant’s production capacity, and time will tell if the production volume will increase.

The future of used electric cars

The production of new electric cars is expanding, but the increase in production costs causes higher prices, so new electric cars have become less available to more customers. Some countries, such as China, use subsidies to help manufacturers be more competitive in the market, making their cars more accessible to more customers. But what about used electric cars?

At the Oxford EV Summit, Tesla UK Sales and Delivery Manager, Michael Oates, spoke on the topic of used electric vehicles and their position in the future. He believes that used electric vehicles will play an important role in the transition to sustainable forms of transportation.

“After the early adopters of electric cars, we need to start getting in front of those for whom an electric car is not necessarily a choice for their next (car) purchase. That’s why I believe used cars are absolutely crucial to ensure that as many people as possible can experience owning and driving an electric car, ” said Michael Oates.

According to Cox Automotive, demand for used electric vehicles in the US is on the rise, primarily due to their cost. In the UK, sales of used electric vehicles rose by 81 percent to 30,645 units.

Certainly, anyone who wants to buy an electric car in the future should also consider buying a used EV.
