Will The Tesla Model Y Shake Up The Industry Like The Model 3 Did?

Yes it will shake up the segment and will likely double Tesla's sales if they can satisfy global market demand for this vehicle. Time will tell just how successful it will be.

Sales ALWAYS drop in January. All new Model 3 production is destined for Europe and China anyway.

Will you finally shut up when sales take off again in the second quarter? Doubt it.

Lol. You're probably a flat-earther too.

Will you shut up when Tesla sells a lot more cars this year than in 2018?

I'll be waiting.

@aspy11 not "woke" but definitely a joke.

Even at a lower average cost per sale, the Model 3 still hit a 20% margin while being the best selling premium car last quarter. If you don't think that is shaking up the industry, you must be on opioids.

Y will do the same.

Simon Alvarez, Teslarati, really. Homer!

Considering Tesla will experience Competition like never before and have a lower EV tax credit with their shitty quality... Good Luck!!!

Looks like a wannabe GLE Coupe...The answer is no

totally!

To soon to say the Model 3 shook up the industry. After filling Model backlog sales have tanked. Sales in Europe and China are minuscule. Given the Model 3 timeline, the Model Y will not arrive until late 2021, if Tesla is still around.

Sales of the Model 3 have hardly tanked. Quit spewing your baseless wet dreams.

BTW, care to bet that the Model 3 will be a HUGE hit in Europe? No? Didn't think so.

75% of Model 3 deliveries last quarter were new sales and not from the backlog... sorry to debunk your theory.

I vote no more articles with the Teslarati.com as the source. They sound like Scientologists.

Leah Remini is looking into it as we speak.

Yes the Model 3 has been a massive hit. The Model Y will be even bigger.

It looks ungainly.

Agreed. Hopefully Tesla's designers will come up with something better than this rendering.

The Model 3's interior would be a perfect for an old Saturn given the similarity in build quality.

There will be huge demand for it... what remains to be seen is if they can get the industrial side of their house in order and build it in a reliable and profitable fashion.

They'll sell more of these than the model 3 if it's priced the same for sure.

I think the Bugatti Galibier 4 door sedan has a greater likelihood of seeing production than the Tesla Model Y.

The Tesla Model 3 has not shaken up nothing, since there are not yet direct competitors acvailable. But we see just how much Tesla has been shaken up by just the first two direct competitors to come tp ,arket, onre of them not even in production yet (Porche Taycan) but already will outsell the Model S in its first year of production, and still has more buyers on its waiting list. And The JaguarI Pace has handilly outsold the Tesla Model X in several European countries and has garnered dozens of awards.
By the time the Tesla Model Y gets to market tehre will be several EV SUVs waiting for it, beginning with the Hyundai Kona EV and Kia EVS, all of which have garnered excellent reviews and seen demand skyrocket. There will be at least half a dozen Model Y competitors when it finally shows up, and every one (excepting the Buick, Leaf) will have (in the U.S.) a $7500 price advantage compliments of the tax credits, making the job of selling a Model Y in the U.S. "Mission Impossible." Model 3 sales have cratered.

Runninglogan, I WILL bey you that the Model 3 nor the Model Why will be a HUGE hit in Europe. The numbers are already in and like the US the US, once the pre-orders are placed the orders slow to a trickle. And only 16,000 oders?!? One problem is that Europeans value interior quality quite a bit. This is why the Jaguar and Audi are off to a running start. Secondly, the Chinese government is going to favor domestic EV manufacturers over others. Tesla may have sales, but they will be small.
Additionally, this is a typical Elon con - I reason sales are dropping in the US is we were planning on shipping to Europe and China all along. And look at this shiny new Model Why."
And MD, Leah Remini thanks you for the shout out.

It's a lot tougher to shake up the industry when you have other very formidable competing vehicles. Audi is launching a smaller all-electric SUV at Geneva. Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz are working on their own all-EV SUVs as well.

Some of those are already like the iPace... impact is negligible at best.
