As the delivery time of Model Y is getting closer, relevant news and speculations are constantly emerging. Recently, the foreign media Tesmanian released several screenshots of the Tesla Model Y’s parameters, exposing specific size details.
First is the most concerned size data. The length, width, and height of Model Y are 4750mm, 1821mm, and 1624mm, respectively. > 2405kg.
Compared to the Model X, the length is 287mm less, the width is 149mm less, and the height is 60mm lower.
Compared to the Model 3, it is 56mm longer, 71mm wider, and 181mm higher.

Overall, the size is slightly larger than the Model 3 and much smaller than the Model X.
Compared to its competitors, the Model Y is okay in terms of overall size.
A lot of netizens overseas have taken pictures of the actual interior space.Moreover, from the picture, the head space is very abundant, and the rear space is much better than the Model 3.
Furthermore, the news is that the three seats in the back row can be laid down to meet the storage requirements of different sizes, such as long skateboards. And, the third row also has a 12V charging port to facilitate the use of equipment placed in the trunk when camping.
The trunk lid will also have an electric function, and the opening and closing degree can also be adjusted through the system.
As an urban SUV, although off-road functions are not necessary, certain off-road capabilities will definitely be loved by users. From the screenshot of the exposed system interface, Model Y has an “off-road assistance system” that adjusts the entire power set electronically to suit different road surfaces. However, the emergency braking and lane departure prevention functions will not be available at this time.
SUV, as a kind of “useable and easy to drive” life car, has been popular among consumers in recent years. Musk previously said at the “Shareholders’ Meeting” that Model Y sales are expected to exceed Model S / X / 3 in the future, and it is not without data. Since 2010, the sales of SUV models in major markets around the world have become higher and higher, the US market has approached 50%, and the Chinese market has already exceeded 40%.

Tesla keeps working overtime to increase the delivery time of Model Y. This morning, Musk tweeted: “Tesla’s 1 millionth vehicle goes offline.” The 1 millionth vehicle in the photo is the Model Y.
At present, the Model Y Delivery Conference will be held in the United States in March, so most of the vehicles in the early stage should be based in the United States market. The Model Y booked by Chinese users is expected to be shipped back to China in the middle or second half of the year. However, SUV models sold in the Chinese market account for more than 35% of global SUV sales, so the domestic Model Y is not far away.
According to the author’s understanding, the Model Y production line of Tesla’s Shanghai plant should be completed by the end of this year or early next year, which means that the batch delivery of domestically produced Model Y will be about Q2 ~ Q3 quarter of 2021.
Although many people say that the Model Y is just the large Model 3, in fact, Tesla’s products cannot be viewed purely by appearance. Tesla’s software and hardware updates are calculated on a monthly basis. For example, Musk recently tweeted that the Model produced in recent months
S / X has improved cruising range to 630km due to some hardware improvements. (EPA) , 531km (EPA) .
(A recent owner of the Model X tweeted that his car is full of 354miles, about 570km)
Tesla is like SpaceX. Constant technological innovation makes products change all the time, so NASA has to be in the CCP (Commercial Crewe PrIn the mission, SpaceX is required to use a specific version of the Falcon9 Block5 rocket to ensure compliance with all regulations and safety tests.
There are many differences between the Model 3 produced in early 2018 and the Model 3 currently produced. (Model S / X also) . Although Model Y shares most of the hardware and architecture with Model 3, there are many technical innovations and details upgrades, such as extremely short interior wiring harnesses, body-in-white design, etc. Although Tesla’s products can be divided according to price, the high-end is Model S / X, and the low-end is Model 3 / Y, but it should actually be based on time. Model S / X is the first generation and Model 3 is the second generation. And Model Y may become Tesla’s third-generation product.
To say that Tesla has the most unique advantage in such a fierce electric vehicle market is actually a sense of technology. This feeling is not created by just a few screens, just like the perception of people. It is not that people wear similar clothes and have similar personalities, but through every detail, every understanding that gradually builds up In order to understand a person clearly.
Model Y may be a cheaper Model X or a more practical Model 3 for the average consumer; but for the author, I know that the technical progress of Model Y compared to Model 3, That’s the most exciting thing. Everything is waiting for the upcoming Model Y delivery conference, at which time Tiger Sniff will bring you the first report.
