The all-electric carmaker Tesla has taken the covers off its first-ever mid-size SUV, the Model Y. It is necessarily the SUV model of the Model 3 sedan, which is probably the first authentic model that Tesla might release in India. The Model Y will go on sale within the remaining sector of 2020 in the US, while worldwide sales are expected to begin in 2021.
The Model Y looks like a miniature model of its big brother, the X, with a similar swooping roofline. It sports activities Tesla’s traditional minimalistic aerodynamic circle of relatives layout and way that the Model Y has a low coefficient of drag (zero.23cd). The indoors of the Model Y is an immediate carryover from the Model 3, and calling it minimalist may be sarcasm. The cabin is ruled by the massive 15-inch horizontally placed touchscreen, and there are no buttons besides those on the steering wheel. There’s a humongous panoramic glass roof to make the cabin feel airy. While it’s a five-seater, Tesla additionally offers it with an option of 7 seats.
Tesla has introduced that Model Y will have a real-global range of up to 300 miles (~ 480km). The carmaker is yet to show the battery capacity (kWh) of the Tesla Model Y. Here’s the variant lineup, range (actual global), and US charges of the mid-length SUV.

The version lineup of the Model Y is the same as the Model 3’s. Only better editions of the Model Y might be available to start with, even as the base-spec variation will be delivered after a few months. It becomes the identical case with the Model three, but its base-spec model was changed to bring it simply after 12 months as Tesla turned into suffering to meet the demand for its most affordable version. Like the 3 and all Tesla automobiles, the Model Y too will offer self-reliant riding.
Although there’s no set timeline, Tesla will finally come to India. However, we don’t count on the agency to fabricate cars here at the time of the brand’s creation. Tesla presently manufactures vehicles mostly inside the USA. Production of the Model 3 and Y will begin later this year at its first overseas manufacturing facility, the Gigafactory Shanghai (Gigafactory three), which is being built in China and will be operated using the cease of 2019.
Gigafactory is Tesla’s nomenclature for its production centres. The Gigafactory 1 (nonetheless under production) currently manufactures batteries for its automobiles as well as Powerwall (for private electricity storage), even as the Gigafactory 2 (also based totally inside the US) is for solar panels. The Chinese facility will become the primary Gigafactory to provide both automobiles and batteries collectively.
Expect future Gigafactories to observe the same direction, and the Gigafactory 1 is also supposed to build vehicles inside the destiny after its crowning glory. Tesla has now not introduced any Gigafactory in India but has plans to build more around the world, and so there’s a possibility. Expect the Indian manufacturing unit to supply both batteries and automobiles; however, to begin with, motors are likely to be an immediate import.
