Tesla is teasing the unveiling of a mysterious new product planned for Tuesday, October 7th this week.
The teaser is ambiguous, which is sparking speculation.
On Sunday, Tesla released a short teaser on X featuring a few seconds of what appears to be a wheel or a fan spinning and ending with the date “10/7”:
Due to the ambiguous nature of Tesla’s teaser, people are speculating as to what the automaker plans to unveil on Tuesday.
Let us speculate.
Electrek’s Take
Of course, Tesla being an automaker, people would quickly think this is a wheel. However, due to the alignment and the lack of lugs, I doubt this is a wheel.
If it has to do with a wheel, it would make more sense for this to be a wheel cover.
A wheel cover could indicate that Tesla will unveil the new, stripped-down Model Y. Timing-wise, this makes the most sense, as we have been expecting Tesla to launch the cheaper Model Y early in Q4.
It could also be a fan. What Tesla product could have a fan?
Elon Musk has been discussing Tesla’s potential development of an HVAC system for a long time, but I haven’t seen significant evidence that Tesla has been actively working on it.
The next-gen Roadster? Maybe Tesla has put some fans for downforce? The timing of that could also make sense, as Musk has been promising a demo by the end of the year. However, we heard that one a few times before.
Several media outlets are reporting that Ferrari is set to unveil its first electric car this week, so Tesla may be looking to steal some of its shine.
