Tesla Model Y Specs, Price, Range, Performance: What We Know So Far
Interested in the Tesla Model Y? Here are the major details all in one place.
Tesla started customer deliveries of the Tesla Model Y in the U.S. on March 13, 2020. Let's take a look at all the specs and what's offered right now just a day after the market launch.
As we previously discovered, only two versions of the Model Y are available now:
- Long Range AWD
- Performance Long Range AWD
More versions probably will be introduced at a later point, as the original plan was also for Long Range RWD and Standard Range RWD.
The combined manufacturing capacity of the Model 3 and Model Y in Fremont will be increased from 400,000 to 500,000 by mid-2020.
