Model Y unveil event on March 14 at LA Design Studio
If they take reservations now they can generate some cashThink they will hold off on reservations? Wait until closer to production? Or do it the same way they did Model 3?
Yeah I agree there. I just don't know if they will want the same backlash from "shorts" if they delay production plans.If they take reservations now they can generate some cash
Yup me as wellJust saw the tweets was really excited until I saw the follow up tweets. Less range could be a deal killer for me 😕
I bet Model Y will not have the same delays. Tesla has learned a lotYeah I agree there. I just don't know if they will want the same backlash from "shorts" if they delay production plans.
Yeah makes sense. Took complex to produce with falcon wingsElon just confirmed no Falcon wing doors. I still had 1% hope it would have them.
Yeah it makes perfect sense. Like I said I had this little light of hope. Still can't wait for itYeah makes sense. Took complex to produce with falcon wings
I'm thinking it's going to be a hybrid of the 3 and X. More like the 3 as you said "swollen" due to it using many of the same parts/frame. It will be interesting to see how 10% bigger equates to cabin room and storage. I love my 3, but with 2 small kids I could use the room. If its everything I'm hoping it will be, I will be reserving and looking to sell the 3 when it's time.Do we think it will practically be a Model 3 but just "swollen"? I'm curious if that makes it easier to get to release version production.
I'm very happy with my Model 3 though. Even though the Model Y will only cost 10% more and be 10% larger, the shorter range and "likely" lack of any tax credit will make me just a spectator this time but I'm still excited as the Model Y reservations could give them good cash flow and just better the brand overall.
Elon said "...and have slightly less range for the same battery"... which (to me) is slightly different from saying will simply have less range because the "Y" could all have slightly bigger batteries or have option for slightly increased battery. To me this was expected. Anyways, minor clarification and like everyone (most) here am super excited about this. Saving my pennies.Elon just said the car will cost 10% more as its 10% bigger than M3 and will have slightly less range than model 3
This has been an ongoing debate in other threads for a few weeks. If the Model Y has the same battery pack options, then it would make sense that it will get slightly less range than the Model 3, just like the X does vs the S. But at only a 10% body size difference, I don't think the variation will be as drastic. My best guess would be Base 200mi, Long Range 300mi. I can live with that, especially considering the Supercharger V3 rollout news today.Just saw the tweets was really excited until I saw the follow up tweets. Less range could be a deal killer for me 😕
My guess would be they will offer Model 3 MR as base model for Y. M3 MR is 264miles so Y will be about ~250 miles (just a guess) and long range will be ~310m again a guess and performance model ~300 milesThis has been an ongoing debate in other threads for a few weeks.
