Model Y Desired Features and Options

[Aarons12]

Every Tesla seems to have a signature feature in additon to their all electric drive. Wonder what will be the signature of the Y.

Roadster. Topless sporty.
Model S. Beauty and Grace.
Model X Falcon wing door and 7 seater.
Model 3 Efficient and nimble value.
Semi Hauls the goods
Pickup Bad Ass
New Roadster. Faster than fast!
Model Y ?

possibly a cast frame according to rumors and elon hints

Looking to replace RX350 with the Y but I like reliability in extreme weather swings - hot and humid summers and long and cold winters with road salt, etc. So no falcon wings, no air suspension (I had a RX300 with air suspension that cost C$1,400/each), regular door handles, windows with frames. Basically, a Tesla but a dependable and reliable Tesla. It would probably cheaper to make and fewer requirements on the service center infrastructure, plus better for the environment if you're not junking parts that don't work.

i had a 1999 rx and was about to lease another one (rx450h) when the early deliveries of the Y were announced. so i'm hoping for delivery by the summer. who knows? certainly not the sales people at tesla LOL

Has there been any final word on whether MY has a powered rear hatch? I've read about some observations in this thread but nothing definitive on the hatch.

Yes. There is also a forum post about it.
Model Y confirmed power lift gate

Hmm, not sure why my search didn't find that post. In any case, thanks @Archon!
