Tesla is scrapping plans for a bargain Model Y SUV because of its short range on a single charge, CEO Elon Musk said in a tweet over the weekend.
特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克周末在推特上说，特斯拉要取消推出廉价Model Y SUV车型的计划，因为单次充电的续航短。
Earlier this year, the electric car maker began producing its pricier, dual-motor all-wheel drive version of the Model Y, which starts at $49,000.
今年早些时候，这家电动车制造商开始生产价格更高的双电机四轮驱动的Model Y车型，49,000美元起售。
Tesla had planned to roll out a cheaper version of the Model Y — expected to be priced under $40,000 — with a single engine, rear-wheel drive and smaller battery. But Musk tweeted that the range on that vehicle would have been "unacceptably low" at less than 250 miles on a single charge.
特斯拉原计划要推出一款Model Y的廉价车型，预计售价低于40,000美元，该车型为单引擎后轮驱动，电池容量小。但马斯克在推特上说该车型的续航“过短”，单次充电行驶距离不超过250英里。
Tesla says it is still planning a more affordable, single-engine version of the Model Y, but it will have a bigger battery and longer range than the shortest range version of the Model 3. And because of that, it'll probably have a higher price tag.
特斯拉称仍计划推出一款价格低廉、单引擎的Model Y，但电池容量会更大，续航里程会超过里程最短的Model 3。因此，定价也会更高。
The company typically offers for each vehicle a "long range" version and a more expensive "performance" version that might get fewer miles per charge but can, for example, accelerate faster.
该公司每款车通常都有一个“长续航”和“性能”更昂贵的车型，比如单次充电的续航短，但加速更快。
Musk said in a follow-up tweet that the single-motor Model Y would come out "in a few months."
马斯克在随后发的推文中说，这款单引擎的Model Y“几个月内”会上市。
