Video description via Ryan Shaw on YouTube:

We finally have official Tesla Model Y Dimensions, and I break them down in this video, along with comparing the Model Y size to many popular crossover SUV’s.

Model Y Length - 187 inches (4,750mm)

Model Y Width (including mirrors) 83.8 inches (2,129mm)

Model Y Height - 64 inches (1,624mm)

Model Y Width (including folded mirrors) - 77.9 inches (1,978mm)

Model Y Width (excluding mirrors) 75.6 inches (1,921mm)

Model Y Curb Weight is 4,416 lbs (2,003kg) -Weight with correct fluids, but no passengers or cargo

Model Y Gross Vehicle Weight Rating - 5,302 lbs (2,405kg) -Maximum operating weight

Now let’s compare the Model Y size to the Model 3.

Model Y vs. Model 3 Size.

Model 3 Overall Length - 184.8 inches (4694mm) -Model Y is 187 (4,750mm) inches, 2.2 inches (56mm) longer than

Model 3 Overall Width - with mirrors - 82.2 inches (2088mm) -Model Y With with mirrors is 83.8 inches (2,129mm). 1.6 inches (41mm) wider than Model 3

Overall Height - 56.8 inches (1443mm) -Model Y is 64 inches (1,624mm). 7.2 inches (183mm) higher.

Some of this height can likely be attributed to the fact that the Model Y ground clearance should be about 1-1.5 inches higher than the Model 3.

Model Y is about 344lbs (156kg) heavier than the Model 3

Now let’s compare the Model Y to many popular Crossover SUV’s Comparisons:

Model Y vs Jaguar I-Pace (Jaguar I-Pace vs Model Y)

Model Y vs Mustang Mach-E (Mach-E vs Model Y)

Model Y vs Toyota RAV4 (Toyota RAV4 vs Tesla Model Y)

Model Y vs Honda CRV (Honda CRV vs Model Y)

The Tesla Model Y Hatchback will be a powered liftgate as we saw confirmed in the Tesmanian article (linked above).

Off-Road Assist is a new feature that the Model Y will have to assist with off-road driving. The description says:

Adjusts traction control to optimize performance off-road. Some Autopilot safety features such as Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Departure Avoidance features are not available when Off-Road Assist is enabled.

Over the Weekend on the 7th, Tesla sent out more Model Y delivery confirmations via text. The text said:

Congratulations! Your Model Y is ready for delivery in March 2020.’

To take delivery as soon as possible, log into tesla.com/teslaaccount and complete any remaining steps such as financing or trade-in. Please reply to this text with any questions and a Tesla Advisor will follow up.

Welcome to the Tesla Family.

There have also been VIN confirmations for customers receiving their Model Y in March.

At this point, all orders are either the Performance Model or the AWD with 20-inch induction wheels. Hopefully, my order (with 19-inch wheels) will be fulfilled soon! I’ll keep you posted, so make sure you’re subscribed to this channel, and thanks for watching!
