Executive Director of Tesla Ilon Musk said that the new production line for electric crossover Model Y will be ready in 2019. However, given the history of previous launches of the company, one only has to hope for the exact deadlines. At the same time, Tesla believes that the new crossover will be sold well. Back in January, in a conversation with investors, Musk expressed confidence that demand for the new compact crossover will be higher than Model 3.

According to Elon musk, this solution significantly complicates the manufacturing process of the car and its final price. The drag coefficient in Model Y — 0,32. The novelty has a short front overhang and a panoramic roof. The lounge area has a large 15-inch display, which is «tied» control of most functions of the electric vehicle.
