Tesla Model Y
After adding the Model X and announcing
a late 2017 launch for the Model 3, Tesla's fourth model will enter a new segment.
It stands to reason that Audi's E-Tron
Quattro concept previews something larger than the eventual Model Y, and so
will possibly Mercedes' all-electric ELC crossover, with Jaguar also looking to
develop something similar.
The Model Y, which has already been
confirmed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk in a tweet last year, would be based on the
Model 3, but priced above it, mirroring the Model X's relationship to the Model
S. If that's the case, then its specs could
also be similar, with a rear-wheel drive base spec version (AWD for the rest),
Ludicrous mode and Autopilot self-driving technology as standard.
This render by RM Design is pretty much
a Model 3 turned into a crossover. We'd prefer the actual car to have a more
distinct personality, even if it lacks the Model X's falcon wings rear doors.
