Thumbing through Autocar at the airport.... Tesla Model Y, small SUV. Launches next year, 75% component share with Model 3.
We'll be lucky if the Model-3 launches in the UK by next year at this rate!
I'm very confident I'll be in my model 3 this year

.. Isn't 2012 like nearly a decade ago??.
Er, no. It's half a decade ago.

Then again, 5 years in Tesla time is more like 10 in actual time.

Idiotic statements like this really don't help your cause.

It's the car I'm waiting for but depending on time lines might get a 3 this year.

Hopefully they'll keep it simple, no gull wing doors etc, then should be easy to make.
Elon was quoted as saying the Model Y will have the “Falcon Doors” as on the Model X.

TBH I personally think they look daft having them only on the rear doors, unless you always carry passengers in the rear it’s a lot of extra engineering for nothing.

I suppose you could carry your briefcase on the rear seat and be able to show off the doors every time you stop......might appeal to some smile

Why would buy a car like the X/Y if you didn't need to move people. I recon my daughter is in the car at least 2/3 the time the car is on the road.

That’ll work in any 4/5 seat saloon with a decent trunk then?

Personally we need a SUV type vehicle for ease of access, not necessarily space in the rear seats or boot, hence we have the i3 for now as the H point is exactly the same as our previous Audi Q3 making ingress/egress easy.

Why do I want a y over a 3?

Hatch for more utility and better cargo space, probably better car camping,easier for dogs etc higher ground clearance, possible air suspension, likely ability to tow.

Mostly couldn't give a stufg about rear seats or carrying people 98 percent of my trips are 2 people max

Almost entirely academic for now, the cars limit the charge rate on the existing chargers and operate below the charger maximum, being faster just makes way for things like the Semi, probably roadster etc.

The model 3 is constrained by the charger below about 46 percent, 200kw will prob shave 10-15 min of a full 0 to 100 charge

What goal posts? Move them where? How?

Have you got the right thread?

Whatever could you mean? I completely agree with the unwashed that there will never be a $35k M3, unless you know different?

I bet it doesn't. They've had one on a High power CCS (150kw max) and it only got 125kw which was a fraction over a supercharger peak
