Foxconn, the Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer best known for manufacturing Apple’s iPhone has automotive ambitions and recently revealed its direct rival for the Tesla Model Y and other similar models like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 or the Volkswagen ID.4. It’s called the Foxtron Model B and it will be revealed in full on October 18 when we hope to also learn more about its specs.
In fact, other than knowing that it’s built on Foxconn’s own open-source MiH (short for Mobility in Harmony) electric car platform (which the company believes will allow it to be “the Android of electric vehicles”) details are sparse. More will probably be shared in just over a week’s time when the official reveal is planned. What we now know for a fact is that the plan is to begin manufacturing this vehicle in 2024 the Ohio factory it purchased from Lordstown GM.
