The Tesla 2022 Company Update

If you were hoping for an update on the Tesla Roadster sports car, the wild Cybertruck pickup truck, or the truly economical "$25,000 car," you should definitely give up for the time being. Tesla will not produce any new automobiles in 2022 or possibly 2023, meaning until 2024. And the rumored low-cost Tesla is no longer a possibility. The electric carmaker's primary focus will be on current product output, as it expects supply chain and semiconductor shortages to continue throughout 2022, wreaking havoc on the sector as a whole.
Really, *Nothing* New?
This unexpected news was revealed during a Tesla investor call in which the company's (excellent) financial performance in Q4 2021 was discussed. Despite supply chain and chip challenges, CEO Elon Musk and Tesla said it was a "breakthrough year" for the company, with robust sales growth and new plants on the verge of producing salable cars.
The problem is that the four Tesla models now on the market are generally outdated. The Model Y is the company's newest product, which was released in 2019. The Model S, which is the oldest, has been on the market from 2012. Tesla's priority will be on producing current goods, and Musk claimed that no new vehicles (or, we assume, big redesigns or new generations of current vehicles) would be released in 2022 or possibly 2024. The company is blaming supply challenges in part, but there is hope that things will start to improve as time goes on.
Then there's Elon Musk, who has a slightly different take on the lack of new products. "There's too much on our plate," Musk remarked when asked about future goods and why there wouldn't be any new ones. Tesla's concentration on expanding output and production above vehicle product development is the reason for this. Any new advances would "take focus and resources away from current car production," Musk added.
A Robot Is A High Priority.
While Musk hinted that the Cybertruck and Semi could be introduced in 2023, he also noted that the Optimus industrial robot is a "high priority" for Tesla. The reason for this, according to Musk, is a manpower scarcity. "I'm not even sure what an economy even means at that point," Musk said, "that's what Optimus is about," he continued, asking Tesla investors to picture a future without ever having had one. Musk also hinted that the initial application would be at Tesla plants, assisting in the movement of parts for production lines, despite the fact that factory robots, autonomous or not, aren't exactly revolutionary.
New Factories Are Being Scouted.
Tesla also revealed that new locations for new manufacturing plants are being scouted. There have been no hints as to where they're looking, but the company believes that developments on these sites will be announced by the end of the year. As the supply chain strengthens, those potential new facilities will work in tandem with those in Shanghai, Texas, and Berlin to meet demand from clients all around the world.
4680 Production.
During the call, Tesla also stated that the production of 4680 batteries had neither impeded or limited car production. The first Model Ys with that battery and the structural battery pack are now being manufactured in Texas, with deliveries planned in 2022. The only stumbling point, according to Musk, is final vehicle certification, which will "come very shortly."
Full Self Driving Will Drive Profit, Too.
Tesla expects Full Self-Driving (FSD) to not only emerge from Beta (or non-final software status) this year, but also to become the company's primary profit generator. The demand for "robotaxis" was cited as the reason behind this, according to the corporation.
The Tesla Supercomputer, the DOJO, was also mentioned as being a part of FSD development via video acquisition, but it would not be important for its development at the same time. At this time, there will be no distinction between individual and business licenses for the FSD because Tesla wants to keep the cost per mile as low as possible. We doubt that Full Self Driving will live up to its name any time soon, and this isn't the first time Tesla has stated that a self-driving car is on the horizon.
Tesla Insurance.
In 2022, Tesla plans to start offering in-house car insurance to its customers, beginning in Texas and expanding across the country by the end of the year. It hopes to be able to cover up to 80% of its clients with insurance, but there are barriers at the state level. California, for example, has legislation prohibiting the use of data acquisition to influence insurance premium prices, as Musk said. Other state-level rules are also a concern for Tesla Insurance's implementation.
