It's confirmed, the only question is when (which if course could be years with Tesla):

> During the 2022 Q3 financial report, Elon Musk confirmed that Tesla has begun developing a smaller, cheaper EV that could be an alternative to the Volkswagen ID3 and Cupra Born.

> He said: “We’ve done the engineering for Cybertruck and Semi, so you can guess what we’re working on which is the next generation vehicle which will be about half the cost of the Model 3 and Y.

> “It will be smaller to be fair, but I think it will shortly exceed production of all our other vehicles combined.”

The compact will be designed entirely for high volume manufacturing and they are going to need a bunch of casting machines for it. They will need it to be in production by 2025 just to maintain their growth targets.
