The delivery date of model y is exactly six months ahead of schedule, and the first batch of Tesla Model y owners in foreign countries have released a report on the rush edition of their cars. According to the little detective's observation, there are already signs that one of the design of model y may cause the first owners to suffer a lot - model Y's trunk cover is too low. This is likely to be a serious design flaw in Tesla's history. In order to adapt to the sliding loading of the trunk, the Tesla Model y trunk cover extends downward, which is integrated with the top slot of the bumper outer cover and cancels the rear lip of the hatchback. In this way, the opening of the trunk is lower, which simplifies the loading and unloading operations of the owner. However, such a design seems perfect, but in fact, it ignores the safety of passengers and the role of rear bumper in rear end collision. The consequence of the boot cover being too low is that it could have been the slightest rear end accident and would have resulted in expensive compensation. This is not alarmist. If the speculation holds, as accidents increase, insurance companies will adjust their rates to match the risk of loss, and model y owners can see their insurance rates soar. The following figure shows the difference between model y and. Obviously, the hatch opening of model x is much higher than that of model y, so the hatch of model x is less likely to be affected in a rear end collision. ▲ left model X; right model y are obvious. The difference between model X and model y still lies in the design of model y extending down to the bumper part of the car. Like most hatchbacks, bolt's rear compartment is covered above the bumper to reduce the impact of rear end accidents. Similarly, the Niro EV is separated from the bumper and the rear compartment. Is it the first group of car owners to criticize model y? Maybe. But the design does raise questions about how to avoid damage to the hatch cover, which means thousands of dollars less, less waiting time for repairs, and lower insurance premiums. Do you know any other similar hatchbacks? Do you also think this is a huge hidden danger for all model y owners?
