The Tesla Model Y reveals its most intimate secrets to the whole world

Finally the Tesla Model Y it is already a reality. The firm founded by Elon Musk I needed a model like this like water in May. With the Model 3 they managed to increase their sales around the world and with this semi-electric SUV, they hope to consolidate the trend. Therefore, we can say that we are before the model that has to consecrate in the automotive sector to this signature.

Yesterday, at 20:XNUMX p.m., the international presentation of the Tesla Model Y. In it, the creator of the brand unveiled his secrets and gave the occasional surprise, because there are details that have gone from being a rumor to being a reality. However, we must be very clear that the Model Y It is the "crossoverized" version of the Model 3, so both products are similar in substance, although not in form.

Fluid and clean design, like all Tesla

As expected, the design of the Tesla Model Y It is very similar to the one that looks Model 3. The last teaser released by the brand played the confusion, since it seemed that the size of its optical groups was smaller. In addition, it gave the feeling that the daylight could be separated from the main focus. However, no, it has not been like that, because its front maintains the same line as its sedan brother.

The side view of Model Y is dynamic and coupé-style, as it combines wheel arches generous with the descending roof line. For this model, Tesla has left behind the falcon-wing doors that the Model X sports. In this case, it settles for a few traditional opening doors, although it hides the handles for opening. The glass sheet proportion gives the first advantage, although the entry of light into the passenger compartment is guaranteed.

Lastly, we should take a look at your back. In it we find some optical groups with LED technology of contained size and horizontal arrangement. They are divided into two, biting the inner part of the gate. This one is generous in size and incorporates a discreet aileron. Finally, the Model Y has a rear bumper with clean and simple lines, to allow a low aerodynamic coefficient.

Clean and very technological interior

If we go inside, the Tesla Model Y maintains the same design scheme of its brand brothers. In this way, we have a minimalist dashboard that concentrates all the functions on one touch screen Large size. Thanks to it, there are no traditional controls in the passenger compartment, since the monitor has a size of 15 inches. The problem is that it will dispense with the traditional instrumentation, so it could scare away less technological drivers.

Through it, the driver and passenger will be able to control the functions related to driving or infotainment. According to Tesla, the Model Y has a surround sound system and a large glass roof that allows light to enter the interior. This helps to increase the habitability, because the big surprise has come from this point. The Tesla Model Y has seven seats thanks to the fact that the motors are compact and the batteries are located on the platform floor. In any case, the latter will be of a contained size and therefore recommended for children.

Platform and technology shared with Model 3

As we already knew, the Tesla Model Y It is developed on the same platform as Model 3. Therefore, both the technology and the different mechanical options are identical. Thus, we have versions of rear engine with propulsion and motor on both axles with all-wheel drive. The power should be identical to the sedan, as it is marketed in two versions, one with 351 hp and the other with 462 hp.

For now, the available data corresponds to the american market, so we must wait to know those related to Europe. In any case, Tesla has provided some data on its performance. According to the cycle EPA approval, the Model Y with the battery more capable presents an autonomy of Milla 300 (about 483 kilometers). Acceleration is brilliant, promising a 0-96 mph in 3,5 seconds. Also, top speed is in the 241 kilometers hour.

Therefore, Tesla Model Y cheapest in the United States is priced at 39 thousand dollars, that is, about 4 thousand dollars more than the Model 3. For now there are no prices for Europe, although Tesla indicates that it will be around a 10 percent more expensive than sedan. However, we still have to wait for them to provide more data for our market. The first units of the Model Y will arrive in sales rooms at the end of 2020 and the simplest in 2021.
