Is the model Y the most versatile Tesla?

[Blue heaven]

Over the past 2 years many people have said the upcoming model Y will eventually double the worldwide sales of the model 3 due to the Y being an SUV, after watching a number of videos of the recently delivered model Y I'm going to say it will outsell the m3 fourfold, the versatility of the model 3 is exceptional, the rear seating room looks excellent, plenty of underfloor storage, big cargo area, flat rear floor, no tailgate lip, triple split rear seats, I think Tesla have nailed it even better than the model 3.
Check out the first ten minutes of the linked video, it details the rear seats and cargo area.

I completely agree. I'm actually baffled why the Model 3 did not look like this. The lack of a hatch was (and still is) the main reason I eventually capitulated and got the Model S instead of waiting for the 3 (poor me, stuck with this rotten Model S ),
I still think the S is the best looking car of the bunch, and will probably get the next significantly upgraded S, but the Y really is the most practical option for the price.

In the US maybe where SUVs are far more common.

Locally even the 3 and the Y are premium cars. And in what I would say are Tesla's biggest markets I'd say most families are more likely to have a sedan and a 4WD/XUV (or Toorak Tractor)

With the recently announced addition of off road setting, trailer hitch and roof box, it indeed becomes the most versatile offering from Tesla.

Gonna sell like Popcorn at the movies.

SUVs aren’t exactly rare in Australia. A few years ago I came back after living in Europe and was stunned at the number of SUVs on our roads.
The Y is more of a hatchback than an SUV too, I reckon it will sell like hot cakes.

The lack of a hatch

Not to mention being a manual boot also...

No the Ps is. So many options like fast, faster and ‘f me’ modes not to mention ‘f me plus’

What do you think should be a reasonable price for a base model Y?

It will probably be the price of the Model 3 plus $5-10K.

If you are considering a unit is probably worth looking at the various tear down videos. In a nutshell, they took the 3 which was already good and did everything right with the y. The y looks an amazing car.
