Parking Lot Pose Offers Size Comparison for Model Y

A Tesla fan who came across a Model Y in the wild took the opportunity to compare the upcoming crossover SUV’s size to both the Model 3 and Model X.

Jason Yu posted photos to Twitter that show him standing next to a blue Model Y in the parking lot of the Westlake Center in Daly City, Calif. He then tried to recreated the same position in front of a Model 3 and Model X.

Tesla has not released the dimensions for the Model Y, but has said it is about 10% larger than the Model 3. The Model Y’s height seems to be somewhere between the two other vehicles.

The first Model Y deliveries to customers are expected in a couple weeks. Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk has said he expects the SUV to outsell all of the company’s other vehicles.

Agreed. It be interesting to see how the 7 seats work out and if they are usable...

Looks like a really small man to me. Fender is almost at his waistline.

He doesn't look that small to me -- did you see where the fender is on the Model 3 photo? I'll attach the photo so it's easier for people to know what we're talking about.

Why does the front wheel on the Y look larger than the rear?

I believe he said he is 5'7"...so if true, yes he is very short.

Tesla fan's "selfie" with Model Y vs. Model 3 vs. Model X is the best size comparison yet he's 5'7, wearing .75" thick shoes.

I agree about Y seems much taller than 3

he should stand by an X for reference too.

To my eye, the proportions of the Y look a lot better than the X.

 

[mbdionio]

The X is butt heavy.

I agree. The only thing missing is 3 row availability, biodefense and air suspension (don't care about falcon wing doors)

 

[cusetownusa]

Im liking the side view a lot. Hoping that it is wider than the 3 but it seems like it will be the same width unfortunately.

I hope he gets a pic of himself standing next to a Mustang Mach E. I'm curious as how the Mach E compares to the Model Y size wise....

And

1) The Eiffel Tower
2) CyberTruck
3) Peter Crouch
4) Semi
5) The Pope (with hat)

That should do it.
