Model Y UK Delivery

I thought the 3 and Y were 5k difference not a few hundred...that price increase, makes the Model Y good value in my opinion.

given the lessons Tesla learned from making the model 3 it is quite possible a Y costs less to build than an M3 even before they go to structural battery. Yes it has a bit more steel and aluminium in it but more efficient production engineering could easily wipe that out. Sandy Monroe identified quite a few improvements when when he did a tear down vs the M3. Of course some of that may have been incorporated into the MiC M3 already.

I had exactly the same. confirmed trade in (after 15 days waiting) and change of delivery range to exactly the same as yours. which means we will both be picking up on May 21st 1 day after the trade in price expires probablyWell I receieved my trade in offer today, and that has also changed my estimated delivery date to May 09 - May 23!

They were, but two price rises in just a few days means they are now the same price

It’s possible it could be cheaper right now but it’s unlikely to be like that for long term when they could use the same process and less material.
The pricing in every other country is cheaper for the 3, the Y pricing just hasn’t been increased yet most likely due to the costs already being accounted.
It makes business sense for them to have a higher price for the Y so I fully expect the LR Y to increase in the next few months

companies sell things based on what they can get for them. I was not suggesting long term the Y would cost less/the same as the 3 I agree that is an anomaly just saying that cost to build wise there may not be much in it.
I think it is likely they have just boosted the price of the car they don't have to push people towards the one they do have. Nice market position to be in that you can do that without being concerned you are driving customers away altogether!

I nabbed one, everything is done on my account now, just waiting for the final trade in price. Hopefully it doesn't differ too much more from the indicative ones they gave me.
I think so! I can only go as far as finance as I am leasing the car. I have checked with the leasing company and they have the order in place
