Tesla Model Y with calibration equipment discovered road testing in CA highway
Tesla Model Y was again discovered on California Route 17 and conducted testing ahead of the original production dates set for 2020. The red multilayer Model Y seen in the video contained a chrome erasure kit, as well as several measurement devices that probably is designed to calibrate the vehicle with Tesla's driver assist functions such as Autopilot.
The Model Y video was captured by r / TeslaMotor's subreddit member u / The_Xenocide, who was driving his Model 3 when it overturned the crossover utility vehicle. Similar to other vehicle observations, such as the first appearance in Palo Alto, California, the Model Y in the last observation tested tests on real roads. That said, this seems to be the first Model Y device discovered in the wild and equipped with test and calibration equipment.
The recent spike in Tesla Model Y observations is a good idea for the production of the upcoming vehicle. Manufacturers test vehicles on the road when close to production to ensure they are ready to be used by the public. It should be noted that Tesla Model 3 release candidates were also discovered in the months leading up to the vehicle delivery date.
Tesla also mentioned during the income statement in Q3 that Model Y production was broken up, as the company stated in the income report, stating that “Model Y equipment installation is in progress ahead of the planned launch next year. We move faster than originally planned, using the lessons learned and efficiency gained from our Gigafactory Shanghai factory design. "
This was highlighted by CEO Elon Musk in revenue for the third quarter, as he emphasized his high expectations for the transition. "I think it's quite likely ̵[ads1]1; this is just my opinion, but I think it will outdo S, X and 3 together," he said during the Q3 earnings call. This is a huge expectation, considering that Model 3 is already recognized as one of the best-selling electric cars in the world.
The Model Y is also a vehicle that has a very popular crossover style that has overtaken the sedan as the most popular type of vehicle in the United States. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2018 that America is falling out of love with the sedan and is streaming towards the bodywork and SUV bodywork.
The Tesla Model Y will start production in early 2020 and will contain 66 cubic meters of storage space, an EPA estimate of 300 miles and a range of seating, allowing for up to seven passengers. The Model Y will start at $ 39,000 for the base variant, but will also offer long-range and performance options.
