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][4] The Model Y is expected to arrive in 2019.[5] Tesla anticipates November 2019, initially starting production at the Fremont factory, in low volume production, with further production awaiting a new factory in the United States and China.[6][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.[7]
History
In 2013, Tesla Motors filed for a trademark on "Model Y".[8]
In 2015, Elon Musk teased a Model 3 based Model Y with falcon-wing doors.[9]
In 2017, the Model Y's silhouette was teased to Tesla shareholders at the annual general meeting in June.[10] 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.[11]
In 2018, a new silhouette was revealed by CEO Musk. With the new image, it was stated that the Model Y would be formally announced in March 2019.[12]
