In the middle of March, the first model y was officially delivered to North American users, indicating that another "hot model" built by Tesla began to attack the market. According to the CEO of Tesla, model y will become the most popular model of Tesla so far, and its sales volume will exceed the total sales volume of other models of Tesla. Why does musk have such confidence in the sales volume of model y? What's the difference between model y and model 3? In this article, the editor will share with you all we know about Tesla Model y. ◆ 30 minutes quick understanding of the full text 1: model y has been delivered overseas with high-quality version, and model y has been approved, which is expected to be delivered to China at the beginning of 2021; 2: the main difference between the appearance of model y and model 3 lies in the body size, color matching and wheel rim style, and the overall design language of model 3 still continues; 3: if viewed from the appearance, the interior and model of model y 3. The difference is not big, but after the experience, we will find that model y has a comprehensive improvement in comfort, convenience, practicality and safety; 4: Although model y is bigger and heavier than model 3, thanks to Tesla's multiple energy consumption optimization, the car's EPA endurance performance is not lagging behind. In addition, the performance of the car is lower than that of model 3. (Note: most of the picture materials in this article are quoted from Ryan Shaw, an overseas media). ◆ musk originally planned to deliver the first batch of model y in the autumn of 2020. However, on March 13 of this year, Tesla started the delivery of the first batch of models in the North America region nearly half a year in advance. However, the first delivery of models is limited to the model y performance high-performance all wheel drive version, while the delivery dates of the long-term all wheel drive version and the long-term rear drive version are not disclosed officially at present. The significance of this operation lies in the early stage of mass production, the low production capacity, the highest sales price and the most profitable high configuration model, which is conducive to quickly recover the cost of early investment, while the low configuration version with more price friendly will be launched after the production capacity reaches a certain scale. However, perhaps because of the North American epidemic, Tesla seems to be interested in delivering a lower positioned long-range post drive as soon as possible in order to boost demand. On the domestic side, Tesla once said it would take 2021 to start the domestic delivery of model y, which is the only clear information about the domestic delivery given by the official. However, we do not exclude the possibility that model y will be delivered in advance in China. In less than a year from the start of construction to the delivery of the first model 3 of Tesla super factory in Shanghai, the progress of domestic model y should be similar to it, that is to say, from the official start of model y project on January 7, at the beginning of 2021 or earlier, we can buy domestic model y. As for the price, at present, Tesla China only gives the price of model y dual motor all wheel drive version and performance high-performance all wheel drive version, which are 488000 yuan and 535000 yuan respectively. As for the long-term post drive version, the official website once offered a price of 444000 yuan, but later the version was removed from the official website. It is worth mentioning that at present, all Tesla models are entitled to the national new energy subsidy and the preferential measures of purchase tax reduction and exemption. When model y announces the domestic sales price, it does not include the later price. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the car may have further price exploration space. ◆ when the appearance design model y was just launched in March 2019, many voices in the industry thought that this model was the inflated model 3, and there was no obvious innovation in the overall design. It was a "bland" product launched by Tesla to cope with the shortage of funds and improve performance. If only from the appearance, it may be true. However, in order to meet the positioning of SUV, the front face and rear part of the car are obviously elongated, the side of the body is around, and the more common black wheel eyebrow binding design is adopted. In terms of size, the length, width and height of model y are larger than model 3. Among them, the height of the car body is the most obvious, reaching 1624mm, 181mm more than model 3, and the wheelbase is only 15mm more than model 3. In general, model y does highly restore the family design language of model 3, but it also integrates some SUV design elements. The overall shape inherits the smart feeling of model 3, and the window line and door handle design of "blackened" processing also strengthens the movement of the car. But it's also because of the similar shape with model 3, but because of the larger size of this car, it will give a little bloated feeling.
