Sweet wheels

sonobono11 2025-08-19 02:57

That thing was sell so well in US

TigglyWiggly95 2025-08-19 03:14

Will order when it comes to the US. Will wait till then.

bigpoppa611 2025-08-19 03:14

Why do they get cool wheels. I mean, I left my covers on, but still! Would’ve been nice to have cool looking wheels underneath that I’ll never see like on the model 3. Edit: Upon further inspection these seem to be covers. Ok, now I’m really mad lol

SMOKE2JJ 2025-08-19 03:29

Anyone know how to convert the range to miles as well as converted to EPA range in the USA?

IWantToPlayGame 2025-08-19 03:35

This is going to sell extremely well.

OriginalType5433 2025-08-19 03:36

Hopefully they drop this in u.s

[deleted] 2025-08-19 03:39

GPT tells me between 326-350 miles. I’m leaning more towards 326 to be accurate

Nhaiben369 2025-08-19 03:41

527 miles EPA My bad I got it wrong it’s 327 miles

Wi11iamSun 2025-08-19 03:51

And it has the armrest for 2nd row seats which Model X doesn't....

FillMy02 2025-08-19 04:06

how is the range so high???

_kempert 2025-08-19 04:28

Very comment wise write you.

cooldave88 2025-08-19 04:36

I want it bad

mcot2222 2025-08-19 04:38

Are there any pics of the inside…

krabbypat 2025-08-19 04:38

That wheel cover looks quite cool. I wish third parties make a similar design for the 20” Helix 2.0 lol

SparkySpecter 2025-08-19 04:40

Different testing authority.

goodguybrian 2025-08-19 04:55

tons and there are videos as well. this car looks promising.

chutehappens 2025-08-19 04:58

Yeah perfect for Robotaxi too

ILikeWhiteGirlz 2025-08-19 05:02

Cool ass rims

g1aiz 2025-08-19 05:13

Devide by 1.6 for km to miles. Multiply by 0.65 for CLTC to EPA

StartledPelican 2025-08-19 05:14

Bring it to the United States you cowards!

venk 2025-08-19 05:27

It’s basically same as the AWD Y, so expect the US version to be right around 327miles

[deleted] 2025-08-19 05:32

Less than 50$ a month USD. Wtf

short_bus_genius 2025-08-19 05:33

The main reason my wife wants a model X? The 2nd row captains chairs. Now (in theory) she can have them in a Model Y... She may even let us buy another tesla one day.

Intelligent_Air_2916 2025-08-19 05:34

You realise this isn’t Japanese Yen right?

SMOKE2JJ 2025-08-19 05:42

Got it. Guess I was hoping they would fit a bigger battery in the longer wheelbase. Still, good to know it won’t be really any worse.

Schneckit 2025-08-19 05:51

Where is the tesla roadster that was supposed to come out five years ago and that people pre-ordered for up to 250,000 dollars?

hatefulevo 2025-08-19 05:52

wish they dropped myp

dellfanboy 2025-08-19 06:00

Take my money in the USA!

MidnightSun_55 2025-08-19 08:13

no, the perfect robotaxi is a two seater for some reason

htnut-pk 2025-08-19 08:17

When?

Nobody talks about this, but it's true. A very significant percentage of Lyfts and Ubers are Teslas and that number is growing every year. I just keep thinking what's going to happen when Tesla allows individual owners to add their Teslas to the Robotaxi network. 20% of Uber drivers are resigning that day, sitting on the couch and sending their car out on the Tesla network. Uber will deal with a huge car shortage and a massive spike in wait times. The true threat of this will be seen if Uber announces drivers aren't allowed to drive Teslas.

Suitable_Switch5242 2025-08-19 11:21

It isn’t. China’s range tests are different than the US. Range is the same as the existing Model Y LR AWD.

Intelligent_Air_2916 2025-08-19 12:23

Cheaper to refactor the Chinese factory

[deleted] 2025-08-19 12:32

R.I.P the little bit of Model X sales that exist

Kirk57 2025-08-19 13:08

Yes. That reason being 90% of the taxi/rideshare market is 2 people or less. Hey maybe Tesla does know what they’re doing :-)

Da_Spooky_Ghost 2025-08-19 13:28

2nd row seats are Ventilated and fold completely flat. Model X could have used that to help justify the $20k price increase it got from last year.... Tesla is letting the Model X die.

venk 2025-08-19 13:34

Battery is most likely 5% larger to accommodate the longer wheel base so range don’t drop.

specter491 2025-08-19 13:39

The captain chairs in the X suck

theArtsyEngineer 2025-08-19 13:56

I can’t imagine that uber wouldn’t want the additional ride availability and revenue that robotaxis would provide? I could be missing something though.

batia0121 2025-08-19 14:25

Because China is the world's largest and most competitive EV market, it has the most amount of talent/research/investment/supply chain associated. And the Shanghai giga factory is the most productive Tesla factory by a laaaaarge margin, it is more productive than all other tesla factory combined.

cadium 2025-08-19 14:35

Probably Q4 when the tax credit dries up and they need to try and induce demand.

Neil_Awesome 2025-08-19 14:49

Is the turning radius worse than the regular Model Y?

GrantLikesSunChips 2025-08-19 15:30

He’s saying they wouldn’t do it through uber, they’d do it through Tesla

SMOKE2JJ 2025-08-19 16:22

So maybe the extra 5% covers the increased size/weight of the car and we have a net 0 change in range. Do you have a link/source for the battery capacity change?

Certain_Revenue9278 2025-08-19 17:41

They are testing in the EU. Maybe maybe a big maybe

Certain_Revenue9278 2025-08-19 17:43

I thought competition won't help innovation. S/.

Hot-Rise-6622 2025-08-19 18:01

Because Evs in China are 10 years ahead of american ones. China in general is 20+ years ahead of america in many many ways. That's why the US government spends 1.6Billion USD a year on spreading lies about China to hope that you poor commoners won't look at a way better country, get angry, and overthrow your corporate billionaires running america.

trivedird 2025-08-19 18:22

I was about to buy Tesla Y today to get benefit of tax credit which is ending in September '25, but now debating on wait for this beast to come to the USA. Do anyone think that Tesla Y L may show up by EOY 2025 in US market? Its hard to buy an EV that's successor is coming soon 😲 but no visibility on release date 😡

Wise-Revolution-7161 2025-08-19 18:33

I would so buy this

Siciliano777 2025-08-19 19:34

Very nice. And a smart move to further differentiate from the model 3 with the recent redesign. Before it just looked like a stretched out and slightly lifted model 3.

backl_ash 2025-08-19 20:58

I got my shit rocked by a logging truck and should be getting my initial settlement from my insurance company in the next day or two. I was going to immediately order a new Model Y, but now I don't know if I should wait to see if this makes it to the US before the tax credit runs out. Is there a source for any info about the US launch?

diggle_ 2025-08-19 21:46

Definitely not a maybe, it's coming to the US

Joatboy 2025-08-19 22:13

Probably due to the increased wheelbase. Like if they modified the steering rack to turn tighter, they may as well do it for the regular MY too

TheFezPez 2025-08-20 00:14

Will this be available in Australia?

Intelligent_Air_2916 2025-08-20 00:39

Probably, Australia gets cars from the China factory.

jfmdavisburg 2025-08-20 00:48

Needs another set of doors

ChunkyThePotato 2025-08-20 01:34

Not really a fan of the name. I think something like Model Y+ could've been better. Two letters just feels awkward.

FrozenBananaMan 2025-08-20 02:33

Unfortunately I’m 99.999% certain there is zero chance you’d get one delivered in time for the tax credit, even if they by some miracle announced the ability to order it this week in the U.S.

backl_ash 2025-08-20 02:43

Yeah it was def a pipe dream. If they come around fast enough I may be able to do a trade in without having to eat too big of a loss 😬 It'll probably negate the credit though

model333 2025-08-20 04:34

You sound like a child.

The_Soldiet 2025-08-20 04:36

Chinese EV's are not 10 years ahead of Tesla or the other American cars. Not at all.

Hot_Specific_1691 2025-08-20 05:08

I really don’t see this as a big seller in the US. More expensive than the normal Y & the tax credit will be gone before it goes on sale.

[deleted] 2025-08-20 07:17

Nope. Google led me wrong.

biofreak12 2025-08-20 11:14

All their cars come with accel boost for free?

Big_Perception3807 2025-08-20 13:32

Does it have the Same trunk size Like the normal Model y?

Hot-Rise-6622 2025-08-20 14:15

of course not in the car driving itself. Tesla wins with FSD. but everything else is miles ahead.

The_Soldiet 2025-08-20 14:16

Everything else? Like what? The only thing they have over Tesla is charging speeds. Enlighten me

Brutaka1 2025-08-20 15:00

Damn, those rims are nice!

Brutaka1 2025-08-20 15:01

Source?

Hot-Rise-6622 2025-08-20 15:13

not my job to convince you bud. go watch some car reviewer youtube channels where they review Chinese Evs. Literally miles ahead of a rattling model s/x at half the price. Also sales numbers don't lie: [https://electrek.co/2025/03/05/this-chinese-ev-has-surpassed-teslas-model-3-and-model-y-is-next/](https://electrek.co/2025/03/05/this-chinese-ev-has-surpassed-teslas-model-3-and-model-y-is-next/) look what people are buying. Edit [https://youtube.com/shorts/uSfuOf8P\_aQ?si=V3Jgk9PBFG\_a7341](https://youtube.com/shorts/uSfuOf8P_aQ?si=V3Jgk9PBFG_a7341)

AvailableSpinach7574 2025-08-20 15:44

This "new" y looks so basic and dated compared to domestic brands. Will not sell well.

greysenpaige 2025-08-21 07:56

Can I get the wireless phone charger from this and upgrade my own juniper?

greysenpaige 2025-08-21 07:57

Yeah those are cool!!

Level-Ad2717 2025-08-21 16:49

I wonder if they made the actual car longer … that would b nice

Illustrious_Life_295 2025-08-23 03:01

I can’t imagine it working for any tall population countries. The third row in Model X was pretty tiny. In fact the only comfy third row EV is VW ID. Buzz, maybe the Kia PV9 eventually.
