Elon Musk takes ''fun'' from journalists
After being known the definitive date for the presentation of the Model Y, the electric crossover based on the Model 3, it was expected that Tesla began to release teasers to promote the official revelation of the model. And, in fact, that's what the brand did. But not as usual ...
What usually happens is that the brands try to keep the new product in the twilight, just letting a few lines see through the darkness. And what journalists typically do is rely on image-editing programs in an attempt to lighten the shadows and see more of what they are given in the original file. Well, once again this procedure with the teaser of Model Y, here is the registration was a message (Nice Try) that should have made Elon Musk enjoy anticipation. The attempt to improve the photo was good, but it failed! So let's recap what we already know about the cheapest SUV from the Californian builder. Unlike X, Y will not have "hawk wings" opening doors and will be 10% more expensive than Model 3, with which it shares 75% of the components. Larger than the base saloon, it is also heavier and less aerodynamic. As a reflection, the autonomy should be below the 390 km approved by the Model 3 with battery of 50 kWh in WLTP.
As the presentation will be made at 8:00 p.m. in Hawthorne, California, it will be light by dawn on the new tram that Tesla expects to sell as "hot rolls" - from 2020, the brand estimates to market more than 1 million annually of Model Y units. Autonews
