Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk has definitively shut down speculation about the company's long-rumored $25,000 traditional electric vehicle, marking a strategic pivot towards an all-autonomous future for the electric vehicle maker.

特斯拉公司(纳斯达克股票代码:TSLA)首席执行官埃隆·马斯克明确否认了关于公司传闻已久的价格为25,000美元的传统电动汽车,标志着该电动汽车制造商战略转向全自动未来。

What Happened: During Tesla's third-quarter earnings call, Musk explicitly rejected the idea of developing a conventional $25,000 car, calling it "pointless" and "silly" in light of the company's autonomous vehicle strategy.

事件经过:在特斯拉第三季度业绩电话会议上,马斯克明确拒绝了开发定价为25,000美元的常规汽车的想法,并称在公司自动驾驶汽车策略的背景下,这是“毫无意义”的和“愚蠢的”。

"I think having a regular $25,000 model is pointless. Yeah. It would be silly. Like, it'll be completely at odds with what we believe," Musk stated during the earnings call.

“我认为推出一款普通的25,000美元车型毫无意义。是的。这很愚蠢。就像我们的信恳智能信仰完全不符,”马斯克在业绩电话会议中表示。

Instead, Tesla is focusing its efforts on the development of its robotaxi vehicle, dubbed the "Cybercab." Unlike traditional vehicles, the Cybercab will be designed exclusively for autonomous operation, without a steering wheel or pedals.

相反,特斯拉正在将精力集中于其机器出租车车辆的开发,该车型被称为“Cybercab”。与传统汽车不同,Cybercab将专为自动操作而设计,不设有方向盘或踏板。

"Autonomous, it's fully considered cost per mile, is what matters," Musk explained. "And if you try to make a car that is, essentially, a hybrid manual automatic car, it's not going to be as good as a dedicated autonomous car."

马斯克解释道:“自动化,每英里成本完全考虑在内,这才是最重要的。”“如果你试图制造一辆基本上是混合手动与自动的车,这样的车不会像专用自动驾驶汽车那么好。”

The company's vision for the future is unambiguously autonomous. Tesla plans to begin volume production of the Cybercab in 2026, with ambitious targets of producing 2-4 million units annually across multiple factories.

公司对未来的愿景是全面自动化的。特斯拉计划于2026年开始量产Cybercab,并计划在多个工厂每年生产200-400万辆。

"I think it's going to be very obvious in retrospect... that the future is autonomous electric vehicles," Musk emphasized. "Non-autonomous gasoline vehicles in the future will be like riding a horse and using a foot phone. It's not that there are no horses... but they're unusual. They're niche."

“我认为回顾过去后会非常明显…未来是全自动电动汽车,”马斯克强调说。“未来的非自动汽油汽车就像是骑马和使用脚趾电话一样。不是说没有马…但它们是飞凡的,是小众的。”

Tesla currently produces approximately 35,000 autonomous-capable vehicles per week, which Musk contrasted with competitors like Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL)(NASDAQ:GOOG) owned Waymo, noting that "Waymo's entire fleet is less than – they have less than a 1,000 cars. We make 35,000 a week."

特斯拉目前每周生产约35,000辆可自动驾驶的汽车,马斯克将之与像alphabet inc旗下Waymo等竞争对手进行了对比,并指出“Waymo的整个车队不到一千辆,而我们每周生产35,000辆。”

Why It Matters: While abandoning the traditional $25,000 car concept, Tesla still plans to introduce a more affordable vehicle in the first half of 2025, which Musk indicated would be priced "sub-30k" with incentives. However, this vehicle will be designed with autonomous capabilities in mind, aligning with the company's broader strategy.

为何重要:特斯拉虽然放弃了传统的$25,000的汽车概念,但仍计划在2025年上半年推出一款价格更为实惠的新能源车,马斯克表示这款车的价格将低于3万美元,还有激励措施。然而,这款车将以自主驾驶能力为设计重点,与公司更广泛的策略相一致。

The company also plans to launch its robotaxi service in Texas and California next year, pending regulatory approval, with Texas expected to move faster due to less stringent regulatory requirements.

该公司还计划在明年在德克萨斯州和加利福尼亚州推出其机器人出租车服务,待监管机构批准后,预计德克萨斯州会更快推进,因为其监管要求较少。

The decision comes as Tesla maintains its position as one of the few profitable electric vehicle manufacturers globally. During the earnings call, Musk noted that "to the best of my knowledge, there was no EV division of any company, of any existing auto company that is profitable."

这一决定是特斯拉在全球保持盈利的少数几家新能源车制造商之一的地位。在业绩会上,马斯克指出"据我所知,任何现有汽车公司的任何EV部门都没有盈利。"

This strategic pivot underscores Tesla's confidence in its autonomous driving technology, with the company predicting that its Full Self-Driving system will surpass human safety levels by the second quarter of 2025.

这一战略转变凸显出特斯拉对其自动驾驶技术的信心,公司预测其全自动驾驶系统将在2025年第二季度超越人类的安全水平。
