Rumors about a Tesla Model Q, a sub-$30,000 electric car, are emerging in China as the automaker is expected to unveil a few cars early next year.

In terms of specs, it’s thought that the Model Q will be around 15% smaller and 30% lighter than the popular Model 3 which means that it is definitely not going to be a big vehicle.
