I'm not a graphics guy, but to my eye, the Y looks closer to the camera by a few inches (based on shadow to the parking lot line)....if true, then the Y will appear larger than it is.

Of course, the guy who doctored the twitter photo may have taken such distances into account?

This! I tried, and tried, and tried..... but just not able to put a finger on it. Maybe if we shrink the MY to 0.98x or so, it will give the perfectly aligned img?

Soon enough, Model Y deliveries will be made. People on the fence will have all their answers.

Basically it is a little taller, little easier to get in and out, holds more, uses a little more electricity, costs a little more, and does not look quite as good as the Model 3.

Likely has a good bit of newer tech, and newer build tech in it at minimum.

I hope this will be the case. Otherwise, the official 15cf to 66cf difference might be just the space above the rear trunk? Doesn't make much sense.
It will be interesting to understand how the 3rd row will impact the trunk size.

Also to see if the 3rd row foot wheel will be available for storage for the 5 seats version.

And if a spare tire can be store may be using the 3rd row foot wheel?

All good questions, that I'm interested in as well.

Hopefully less than a month before we learn the answers :)

I plan to have a Factory tour in April with some relatives, I hope there will be one in Display?

Or even, I wonder if some of the Model Y assembly line would be visible?

Note: If delivery starts in March, there must be a lot of Model Y already build and stored on a parking lot,
or transported to the near by delivery center. Any recent drones fly over already published?

From this Twitter picture (lucky Model Y tester), it seems that there might be a tow hitch option,:

Here’s a decent comparison for those who are interested.

My wife and I took our 3 and Y out for a drive this afternoon. Got a lot of looks ;)

From this angle, the Y looks more like the X than the 3 (at least for someone wo is not a Tesla 'connoisseur' or car expert).

Note: I really like the two personalized licenses plates !!!

Yeah, I thought so too. Back half looks like the X, the sides and front look like a ‘chubbier’ 3.

Also, thanks! We put a lot of time, research, and brainstorming into those vanity plate names. #PLUGLIFE #S3XYRIDE
