Anyone have more info to add to that? Thx.
I saw a MY at the Fremont Factory.. it was considerably taller than a 3, and only an 1 or 2 inches shorter than an X. The 3 is so low and that I hate getting in to one, but the Y looked very roomy and much easier to get in and out. (I'm 6'0 and round)

I’m 6’0 as well but not that round. That being said, getting in and out of the 3 is easy enough but there are certainly days where I’ll drive the wife’s X3 instead due to back pain so having a Y in the family will be convenient.

My wife would love to because the Model 3 is too low to the ground for her.

Maybe in a couple of years if we can afford to.
If she is the driver, adjust her seat profile to end up higher so she can get in and out easier.

Im purchasing the Y for her and keeping my SR+ because I love that car. I also have lots invested in upgrades and mods into my SR+ to make it mine.

I find my Model 3 as comfortable as many cars. We have an old (2005) Mercedes E320 that is far less comfortable with really no more than an inch of clearance off the ground.

Then again, my wife has a bad back and knees and may think differently. If it's a problem I'll put in an order for a Model Y, though I probably won't get matched with a vehicle at this point for at least a year, probably a lot longer.

How many S's, X's, 3's, and Y's can they make in Fremont at one time?
