March 14, Tesla Inc will show a new electric car

On Sunday, the head of Tesla Inc, Ilon Mask, spoke about the imminent announcement of the new electric vehicle. The vehicle was named Model Y and will be presented in Los Angeles.

According to the company, Tesla engineers since 2012 (Model S) have been working to improve the design of the SUV. The upgraded version of the electric car is presented as a Tesla X, but the work continued and now the improved Model Factor has received the Model Y.

Externally, it looks like a Model 3, but its dimensions are somewhat larger, both outside and inside.

"Model Y, being an SUV, is 10% more than the Model 3. It will cost 10% more than the Model 3, plus it has a slightly smaller power reserve," wrote Musk.


Actually, the price of the Model 3, the most basic version, is $ 35,000. With all additions and autopilot, the cost of an electric car is almost twice as much - $ 60,000.

It is worth noting that the Model X has one of the most prominent elements - the butterfly door. It looks spectacular, but as it turned out, this design has a lot of problems. Yes, and on the assembly of an electric car with such doors need more time, and Tesla does not have it.

It is for this reason that the management decided to return the usual design. The new SUV has doors like most cars.

It is worth noting that Tesla also announced the imminent exit of a pickup of its own design. About him so far nothing is known, except that show pick-up a little later this year.


“Personally, I really liked Tesla Truck. It may be too futuristic for most, but I am delighted, ”said Ilon Musk.
