All-New Tesla Model Y Unveiled — Second Electric-SUV From Tesla With Close To 400Km Range
Tesla unveiled their all-new Model Y SUV recently at California, USA. The mid-size electric SUV was unveiled by Elon Musk and will be the most-affordable electric-SUVs from the American EV carmaker.
The two variants include a lower-range and high-range trim. The low-range trim of the Tesla Model Y claims to offer a range of 230 miles (370km) on a single charge. It will be offered with a base price of $39,000 (approximately Rs 26.89 lakh), exclusive of taxes.
The higher-range model, on the other hand, will be priced at a more premium price point, between $ 47,000 to $60,000. It will also come with a better battery-pack, offering more range on a single charge. The premium Model Y will, however, be the first to go on sale in international markets, with a launch expected in 2020. It will be followed up with the lower-range variant at a later stage, with an expected launch in 2021.
The Tesla Model Y will be based on the Model X, which is currently the most affordable car in the brand's lineup. The Model Y will, however, miss out on the falcon doors seen on the Model X; replacing them with conventional doors.
According to a tweet by Elon Musk, a few days prior to the Model Y unveil, he stated that the new SUV will come with overall dimensions which are 10 per cent larger than the Model 3. To give a rough idea, the Tesla Model 3 measures 4,690mm in length, 1,930mm in width and 1,440mm in height. The Model 3 also comes with a wheelbase of 2,880mm.
Tesla is said to make use of the same battery packs as on its sedan counterpart (the Model 3). Hence, due to its larger dimensions, it will offer slightly less range than the sedan model. The Tesla Model 3 is offered with a range of three battery packs - 50, 62 and 75kWh.
Tesla has stated that they expect the Model Y to sell more units than the Model 3 and Model X combined. Production of the Tesla Model Y is scheduled to begin from next year, with manufacturing to take place in the company's Gigafactory in Nevada, Texas, USA.
Thoughts On The Tesla Model Y
The new Tesla Model Y will be the most affordable product from the brand, once launched in the international market. It will be offered with most of the features expected from Tesla, including the autonomous driving technology and a host of other safety and infotainment equipments.
