Tesla hasn’t had much to say about its forthcoming Model Y, but we know it’s a crossover EV, and we know it might not have mirrors, but that’s about it. CEO Elon Musk has now revealed that the company aims to bring the new vehicle to production in 2020, saying that doing so will spark a “manufacturing revolution”. Although he didn’t expand on what that revolution will look like.
Tesla had originally aimed for a 2019 release date, then pushed it back to 2020 because of plans for an entirely new production platform. Musk then scrapped that idea in a bid to bring the car to market sooner, so now we have the original production platform and a later launch date.
It sounds like Tesla has learned from its mistakes with the Model 3. Production has been tough for the company since the outset, but despite a brief manufacturing pause last month, the company now says it’ll soon be on track to deliver 5,000 per week. Motivated to avoid the same hiccups with the Model Y, it’s clear Tesla is taking a cautious approach to every aspect of its arrival.
