Hello everyone! Have you heard of the new project of Tesla cars? Okay,
let me tell you about the upcoming car of Tesla, the Tesla Model Y. Hey, this
is Debjyoti your technical advisor and today I am going to give you all the
information of Tesla Model Y along
with its full review, price, specs and release date worldwide and in India.

Tesla Model Y full review:
The Tesla Model Y was presented last week at an
event in Hawthorne, California, at the Tesla Design Studio. The event was
perhaps one of the most highly expected events of the year, as the ECUV (electric
compact utility vehicle) is likely to hit the market and sell more than all
three of Tesla’s current vehicles combined, and become one of the top-selling
passenger vehicles in the world.
Tesla Model Y Interior:
The first thing to be noticed is the rear of the vehicle which
is that the seats sat a little higher than in the Model 3. The structure of the
fabric base and back is the same as in Model 3, and it is justified, as the
Model Y uses the same seats as Model 3. When you sit higher, it makes the
already low dash of the Model 3, which also carries through into the Model Y, feels
even lower and opened up the visibility out the front of the car even more than
that of Model 3.
After that, looking back to the 3rd row of seating small
jump seats is seen that looked very similar like what you see on airplanes for
flight staff. Two very small seats appeared to sit on the floor of the back, which
is not so comfortable. This is likely something Tesla is still working on, as
it is hard to sit back there for any period of time and being comfortable. I’m
not expecting them to be comfortable but kids may find this seat to be
comfortable.

Looking up to the front seats, the 15″ a landscape touch screen that made its debut in the Model 3 is a very familiar
face, as is the majority of the front landscape. A center console sweeps up to
the front to the low dash, the steering wheel comes with the same familiar
knobs. I expect Tesla should introduce the Standard Interior options that it
recently rolled out in the Model 3 to the Model Y when the time comes for the first Standard Range vehicles
to ship to customers.
Tesla Model Y Glass:
Looking up, the full piece of glass
covering the cabin was the main attraction to me. That surprised me because it
was literally a nighttime and there wasn’t much to see, but it did so just the
same. The Model Y differs from the Model 3 with its roof design, opting instead
for a single pane of glass from the rear of the windshield back to the top of
the rear hatchback which is really not up to the mark.
The change results in a spacious feeling
from inside the car that you can’t get in the Model 3. The Model 3 had come
with a single pane of glass over the driver and passenger; with another large
pane that flows back from just in front of the rear passengers all the way back
to the end of the car. The feel of the Model Y and the hatchback design is good,
as it’s just so much more functional.
Tesla Model Y driving:
Nobody outside of Tesla’s internal members
has been able to drive the Model Y yet (the same as was the case when Model
3 was first shown on 31st March 2016) but some of the Tesla crew
members in charge of the car took the reviewers on the standard route out from
the Design Studio onto the street for a quick ride. The acceleration up the
straightaway was remarkable, but not absurd. Indeed, the
Performance loaded Model Y was not in the hand of the reviewers but the short
and healthy ride was enough to understand the driving capacity of the Tesla
Model Y.
If you make some dodge and wave down the street, it
perfectly handles itself with minimal body roll despite of full load.
Overall, the Model Y is fundamentally similar to the Model
3, with the add-on height having essentially no impact if you talk about the driving
characteristics of the car. But that is an impressive achievement for a car
that packs 66 cubic feet of storage space!
Tesla Model Y Pricing:
The Model Y being an SUV will carry
extra space than Model 3 and will cost as much more. Therefore, the
estimated price for the base model of the car is around USD
40,000 (around Rs
28 lakh).
Tesla Model Y Launch Date:
On March 4, Elon Musk twitted that Model Y will be unveiled on March 14 at LA Design
Studio.
But it is far from the consumers of India as the mass
production will start after a few days in the Gigafactory of Tesla in Nevada.
The volume production will kick off in 2020. So, to get the Model Y in your
hand, it will be 2021 at least.
