Elon Musk is ready to unveil Tesla's long-awaited Model Y electric SUV
laster to say there’d be a “Model Y unveil event on March 14 LA Design Studio.”
Musk has talked up plans for a crossover smaller than Tesla’s Model X SUV, priced from $88,000, for about five years, though has yet to show what it will look like. In response to questions from some of his 25 million followers on Twitter, he confirmed that the new vehicle would have “normal” doors rather than the complex and“falcon wing” variety used on the X. He also said that Y would closely resemble Model 3, without providing any images.
“It’s an incredible vehicle and probably nothing like it will ever be made again, and maybe it shouldn't.”Instead, the Model Y is to be produced off the easier-to-build Model 3 platform to ensure simpler, cheaper production. While only about 30% of X was common with Tesla’s Model S, Musk said on the call, about 76% of Model Y will be common with Model 3.
Tesla “will likely provide an anticipated production timeline at the unveil event, but we think it will take some time for the vehicle to come to market, potentially mitigating the impact of cannibalization," Kallo said."Our model currently expects volume sales of the Model Y in 2021.”docked an unmanned Crew Dragon capsule at the International Space Station
