Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweets that he is now planning to introduce a mini-car

Bullish on the performance and increased production of Model 3 cars, Tesla CEO Elon Musk is now planning to introduce a mini-car."We're working on a new Tesla mini-car that can squeeze in an adult," Musk tweeted on 5 August, replying to a user who asked him about a Model X Radio Flyer toy car.The Model S Radio Flyer toy car which is currently available for children in the age group of three to eight, comes with a 130-watt battery pack.Musk, however, did not elaborate on when the Tesla mini-car will hit the roads.The electric car maker reported revenue of $4 billion (roughly Rs. 27,500 crores) in the second quarter of 2018, with $2.2 billion in cash in hand.[caption id="attachment_4606671" align="alignnone" width="1280"]

We believe that the majority of Tesla's production lines will be ready to produce at this rate by the end of 2018," Musk said during the company's second-quarter results last week.
