Anyone waiting for the 2nd gen Model Y?
- Thread starter BULLSHARK
- Start date
If you order now you get the laminated glass already. I think if you’re always looking for the next best thing you may be waiting always. Why not wait for the year after next and get even more? I’ve ordered mine now and I can’t wait to get it
Just the new battery alone is worth waiting, plus some other small improvementsIf you order now you get the laminated glass already.

As a long time Tesla owner, I will tell you that waiting for a rumor will make you old and carless. My Model S P85D was going to be replaced with the Plaid. Rumor said the Plaid was going to be 2020, then Musk said late 2021. From experience, I know that means late 2022, so I ordered a MYP.
I ordered yesterday and thought about delaying. Then I shook myself out of that endless cycle of ruminating about something I can't control.

I’m getting mine in a few days and will get the Gen 3 in 5 years. Gen 1 is less than a year old, so I doubt very many updates very soon.
Amazon has a lot of nice gloves that will keep your hands even toastier and they will improve your range too!
All the one's coming out of the factory today are marked as 2021s. They will just be adding stuff throughout the year on most of their vehicles for 2021 marked vehicles.
Do your research on what is currently offered at the corresponding price and whether you would be extremely happy with it or not. If you will be happy, buy now. If not, wait it out. However Tesla won't be announcing any dates so there is no telling what comes out when. Could be one month, six months, 2 years, or never since you are operating on rumors.

If you order now you'll likely get the incremental battery improvement using the existing cells, laminated windows, and integrated rear castings. Perhaps even the single piece rear casting.
If you order in a few months you'll probably get a redesigned center console, USB-C in the glovebox, a quality flash drive for security video, etc. But you'll hold off for the heat steering wheel, the HEPA cabin filter, etc.
If you wait to order when those are available, you'll hear about the single piece front casting, better battery, seat massage, and array headlights.
And then it will be the air suspension.
And so on.

If you keep waiting for the best thing, you will end up not buying anything.
Especially for a company like Tesla which operates more like a software company than traditional makers..
Heard of the Osborne effect?

The new battery size doesn't seem likely, but we know that the existing cells are getting minor improvements. It doesn't take too many 2% improvements to make a major difference.
"Panasonic has already developed technologies resulting in a more than 5% increase in the energy density of “2170” cells. From September, the firm will start converting lines at its factory in Nevada that it operates with Tesla as it prepares to further boost the energy density of the cells, Takamoto said."

Correct, small improvements that will total upto around 20% within a couple years. It’s also working to cut cobalt usage and lower cost. It’s another case as well tho we may end up with smaller kwh battery’s and keeping everything in line where it is now. With Ford coming in with a car now Tesla also has the goal to keep running at production capacity and at some point price will need to come down to keep people from looking elsewhere (instant gratification). If it wouldn’t be for efficiency at this moment and the supercharger network I may very well have considered the Mach-e.

You never know if the new battery is going to explode at random, I would recommend waiting a few years before trying that. If you want a safe car, order now.
I'm waiting for Gen 5. I don't want to miss out on all the new stuff
