That's my fear, as well. I might be waiting for the truck in 2020(?).
If your garage will accommodate LxWxH of 5000(197)x1850(73)x1550(61) mm(inches), you can safely order. They will almost definitely not exceed "Large" vehicle automated parking limits in Asian cities. That lets it be a maximum of 12x0x5 inches larger than the Model 3 (and I'd guess they'll use most of that: 1 inch more ground clearance, 4 inches taller body, ~10 inches longer).
If it only has 1" more ground clearance with less range than our Model 3, we'll probably wait to see the specs and price of the Tesla pickup before making a decision. Our 3 car 600 sqft garage currently has a '12 Leaf, '16 Rogue, and '18 Model 3 along with the normal other garage stuff like a workbench, tool cabinets, bikes, etc.. Before taking delivery of our Tesla, I relocated the workbench and cabinets to accommodate the additional space needed along with selling our 2001 Ram quad cab 4x4 that barely fit door to wall and if it was any taller, wouldn't have cleared the door height restriction. If getting the Model Y or the pickup means we can trade/sell the Rogue and Model 3, I'll be able to rearrange again to make it work but until more is known that decision will have to wait.
Thanks for posting this, I haven't seen this picture before. Gives a great idea on the height difference on the two cars.
No. They don't know either. But I don't think they were giving you a run around. Probably the very script most everyone else would get. I have found my local service center to be less happy about the Y. They just want you to buy the model 3. "Basically the same car, cheaper, and you can get it now." She went on to tell me that the Model Y would not have a single car delivered in Colorado until 2021.
This is classic Tesla. I remember when the Model 3 was already being delivered nobody knew whether the rear seats were capable of being heated or not since the software didn't include that as an option.
