The Tesla Model Y is a battery-powered all-electric compact crossover utility vehicle (CUV) from Tesla Motors.[1] It is part of their tier 3 mass market vehicle in their Master Plan, alongside the Tesla Model 3 sedan. The Model Y fills a smaller size segment from its bigger sibling, the tier 2 premium market Tesla Model X cross-over sport utility vehicle (XUV).[2] With the passenger vehicle lineup from Tesla, it will spell sexy (S3XY) with the release of the Model Y.[3] The Model Y is expected to arrive in 2019.[4]

Specifications

The Model Y sport utility vehicle (SUV) is planned to be based on the Model 3 platform. The Model Y may include falcon wing doors from its bigger sibling, the Model X SUV.[5]

History

In 2013, Tesla Motors filed for a trademark on "Model Y".[6]

In 2015, Elon Musk teased a Model 3 based Model Y with falcon-wing doors.[7]

In 2017, the Model Y's silhouette was teased to Tesla shareholders at the annual general meeting in June.[8] Elon Musk also announced that the Model Y would be produced in a new factory, as it was not likely that the Fremont plant would have room to accommodate another production line.[9]
