Model Y test rides tonight?

[DaveT]

Has anybody heard if they will or will not be offering Model Y test rides at tonight's event?

What's the point? It'll ride like a slightly heavier Model 3 with a little higher point of view.

Yes Elon mentioned in a tweet that there will be test drives at the reveal event

There's bound to be quite a bit of changes from the Model 3 in terms of design and even small things. Also, will be interesting to feel how spacious the rear seats are and how high the ceiling are.

Elon has said the Model Y will share about 30% the same parts as Model X

No, he said that the Model Y shares ~75% of the same parts as the Model 3.

I can't seem to find that tweet. Do you remember when Elon tweet that there will be test rides at the Model Y event?

No test drives, but there are test rides.

I'm pretty sure it was in the email invites that were sent out.

A little searching and so far I only found the Electrek article saying this:

Detailed specs and pricing information will be announced at the event next week and working Model Y prototypes will be available for test rides.

Thanks. There's nothing in the email invites or confirmations that were sent out.

Perhaps Electrek got the info from Tesla directly?

I don’t have Twitter but I’m 100% sure I saw the tweet saying that.

You never know....

They have never done test drives at these events. It has always been test rides. (It is possible that could change, but the likelihood is so small it is practically non-existent.)

Hey man! I’m grasping at the straws here

Elon has said both

Where can you find a reference that the Model Y is going to be using Model X parts? (I really don't think so.)
