Why would anyone on this forum not be interested in video clips??

 

[DiyEvRepair]

+1 video please

 

[adam9936]

+2 for video please! DM or to the thread, either way works! thanks!

I would be interested especially if it shows other cars around it to get a sense of the size and ground clearance.

I grabbed the footage from my Model 3 dash cam so its a little grainy. This is in Portola Valley near Tesla HQ. Cool to see one driving around. I've got some short video clips if anyone is interested.

Yes, please.... give us some short video clips...

Good sign they are doing some road testing....perhaps.

- This is the front camera

- This is the side camera

Thanks for the video! I think the size is perfect with a blend of the Model 3 and Model X together.

This car is gonna sell like hotcakes!

I hope. They actually might make the 2020 deliveries on time!

i heard on a youtube channel that there may be a chance that they start production in Q1 of 2020. The original Fall 2020 date given in Elon's presentation earlier this year had extra time buffered in....

That would be a first!

Very nice. I would actually be more interested in this than the 3. If Model 3 can have walk up/away keyfobs then I'll presume the Y will, too. I'll get used to the lack of IC.

Looks like an overweight Model 3!

It looks low like the Model 3

Black trim survives!

I saw the same one today on my way home, same road, similar time. I got a slightly longer clip this time.

Thanks for clips, now I know where they are testing Y now, its probably 84 near the mountain pass in between Palo Alto and Woodside. probably gonna find a afternoon to have a coffee there and see see if I can catch one.

 

[Cstreet]

Both times I was on Arastradero road between Page Mill and Alpine road.

I am going to get one of these when they come out! I have a model 3 and a family so the model Y will be perfect for me. Does anyone know when they are likely to hit the UK?
