Model 3 owners, are you planning on buying a Model Y?

[corduroy]

With the big reveal coming on March 14th, what are your plans for the Model Y? We don't know what the process will be this time around as far as reservations, but are you getting one?

I definitely plan on getting one, but this time I don't feel the need to reserve one, I'm just going to wait until they come out and order.

 

[outdoors]

Yes, but needs to have a same or greater range than the 3LR RWD. Otherwise no dice. Not feeling good from what I am reading currently.

 

[C141medic]

I may get one but may wait a while to purchase after they’re first available. There will also be more competition around that time so who knows what will happen.

 

[Lifeinabox]

Yes, but needs to have a same or greater range than the 3LR RWD. Otherwise no dice. Not feeling good from what I am reading currently.

Considering it's a larger car, why would you have that expectation? As long as it's "~10%" like Elon said, I'm good and it will still beat any competitor out there.

 

[jching]

if I do I wouldn't wait in line nor would I be putting a reservation/deposit down again. I'll probably wait a year or two after it gets released since it'll get madly discounted

 

[chickensworth]

Love my car, but not happy with all the repeated price drops, quality issues and other fiasco's... waiting would have resolved lots of these problems. Maybe Tesla will be on more solid footing with a more stable existence by then, but for now, I think i'll have to wait, especially if it's just a jacked up 3.

 

[Snow Drift]

I will reserve, probably online again.

I’m debating having both M3 and MY or trading in the M3 for it.

 

[Matt L]

You need a “maybe” button. How could anyone say yes without seeing the car or price?

I said it needs to be. That is for me. I need the range. The only competitor the Y has are the other two Tesla's in my garage now. So Tesla can do whatever it wants to do. I am buying the car. So I am not having any expectation, and surely never buy a vehicle on the basis of being a category stat leader. I am saying what is necessary for me to buy the Y. Notice a lot of me's and I's?

Slightly larger battery maybe. If not it falls in the middle for me. Which becomes a car I don't need.

 

[TANGO SUKKA]

was going to be a day 1 buyer but now i'll wait a year.

 

[Knightshade]

Yup.

The one lesson Tesla has repeatedly taught potential customers with the 3 is you're an idiot if you buy in the first 12-18 months of production... (the too short lived P3D- being the only possible exception, and only with the unlikely to repeat 5k refund factored in)

 

[privater]

If you ask me 5 days ago, I'll place my deposit without any hesitation. But after all these fiasco and how they treat old loyal customer, I'll say No, and tell the story to everyone who ask for my advice on Teslas.

I couldn’t agree more. I was ready to put down a deposit ASAP. Now I’ll wait at least a year and explore other options that’ll be available at that time. And oh yeah, I’ll be able to go to a dealership and actually see and test drive the other options.

 

[eCharcoal]

I went from somewhat likely to somewhat unlikely due to what happened several days ago. Tesla did not handle it properly.

 

[run-the-joules]

Yes but not likely immediately at launch and not out of any actual interest in it, more just so that when I drive my better half's car I don't have to be driving something so terrible.

 

[SJC3]

Yes but not in the first year this time. This adage is so much more applicable to Tesla than say Toyota (even my Lexus has first gen issues)

 

[Kelmn07]

Prior to the Y announcement, I was planning on getting a second Model 3 in May.

Now, I’m going to wait and see what the production timelines are. I’m not sure it would be wise to buy a car now and another one in 12-18 months. Also would be considering a lower range model, which could extend it farther. I think two years between the purchases would be ok.

You need a “maybe” button. How could anyone say yes without seeing the car or price?

I agree that the poll needs a Maybe, but I said "hell yes" to the Model 3 without seeing a car or a meaningful price number. The nebulous $35K didn't count in that regard, I always took it as being a rough ballpark at best, and really we have that much already with the Y. I was "all in" before the mock-up got trotted out at the Mar 31, 2016 stage show.

 

[SDKoala]

I already knew I wasn't going to stand in line again (will it even be an option this time with stores closing?), but I was ready to put down a deposit at reveal and get into the first production version ASAP. After seeing this whole fiasco play out over the past few days, I'll still probably give Tesla an interest-free loan, but instead wait a while to see what happens. It won't be my daily driver the car it will replace isn't even 2 years old, so no incentive to get into it quickly this time.

 

[Daniel in SD]

If the Model Y is just a Model 3 wagon I'd be tempted. They can give it an optional lift kit with black plastic cladding for those that are into that sort of thing. That would cut development costs and it worked for Subaru so maybe it will work for Tesla.
I'm too cheap to buy another car so soon after this one anyway though but I do miss my wagon.
