The latest figures from Tesla tell us that the company has managed to sell 47.000 cars so far this year 2017. In its catalog there are exactly two vehicles that are offered for sale: the Model S and Model X.
However, we must bear in mind that just a few days ago the new Tesla Model 3 was officially presented, a completely electric car that wants to be the entry point to the world of Musk and his Tesla. This model starts at about $ 35.000, although it is very possible that this price will increase if you take a look at the extras you can add. Now, since last June it is known that the company is working on a new vehicle. It would be a car with the appearance of an SUV but with a smaller size than what can be seen in the Model X that can hold up to 7 passengers. We are talking about Tesla Model Y.
The new Crossover by Tesla it would be a different car than what is known to date. According to Elon Musk, they are working on a new platform. And in his words, this new car vision would be ready by the end of 2019 or the beginning of 2020.
However recently Elon Musk has announced that the new Tesla Model Y is based on the recent Model 3. And why this decision? Well, because in this way the arrival of the new model could be promoted faster. This would increase sales and the good taste in the mouth that the company is leaving in the greener sector. Now, make no mistake, the company's profit margins are always on everyone's lips. Therefore, using the platform used in the Tesla Model 3, production costs would be greatly reduced.
Also, Elon Musk confirmed last Wednesday that they are also trying to use less cable inside their vehicles. You want to put aside the 12V architecture of current batteries. This measure would also lower costs and make vehicles faster. Now, there is little else we can tell you about Musk's new car. Will this Model Y have a starting price as attractive as the Model 3? Will you use the same type of doors as on the Model X? Everything remains to be seen in the coming months.
