Elon changed his mind (or had his mind changed) about creating a whole new architecture for the Model Y as he had announced earlier this year. Presumably, this should bring the Model Y to market sooner.
What I find even more encouraging is that, of late, he is able to put some of his "hubris" in check and accept advice from others. Now, about those Falcon Wing doors on the Model Y...
Elon changed his mind (or had his mind changed) about creating a whole new architecture for the Model Y as he had announced earlier this year. Presumably, this should bring the Model Y to market sooner.
Musk said that following his new architecture announcement, the top management team talk him down from the idea or “walked him back from the cliff of insanity” as he said.
He added that it would make sense to try to bring the vehicle to market faster since SUV is the fastest growing vehicle segment and Tesla should aim to release a more affordable all-electric vehicle in it.
Unfortunately, Musk didn’t update the timeline, but it could come quite soon since the timeline for the new architecture was “late 2019 to 2020” and now it should be sooner.
