Tesla staff have an all hands meeting (1st Oct).. Model Y about to go on sale?

[Js1977]

Not a fan then? I pretty new to this brand having pretty much lived with German marques since I had my first job and do appreciate there’s been build quality issues that should never appear on any car let alone in one over £40,000 but so far I’ve only been impressed with the cars I’ve viewed and driven.

Time will tell I suppose.

A fan, Yes. A loyal brand person, not really. Go view ad drive it for yourself and decide.

Build quality is not on par with German but its not bad and does have its upsides to make up for it imho.

I agree! Ive had 3 Model 3 s so far a 2019 3P-, a 2020LR and now a 2021 LR. Never had a build quality issue. Interestingly each has been better, particularly the current one MIC.

Does anyone have an educated guess on the likely UK MY pricing?

I’ve been holding off on a M3LR c £52k with extras (paint, wheels, white interior) is the MY likely to be out with this budget, I’m pretty much at the top of what I want to spend.

 

[Durzel]

Well it seems likely you won’t get the same options for that price. The base car is going to be more expensive than the Model 3, that much is certain.

I would say £58k with all your extras but you can always skip the wheels and get them later on (better value as well).

I did some napkin math earlier this week. In Europe the model Y ranges from 9%-18% price increase to their model 3 counterparts. In Germany and France this rate is around 12%. (Norway was a big outlier at 18%)

So I’m anticipating it to be £55k for the base LR MY

 

[Katic1972]

Yeh I think you’ve all pretty much confirmed my fears. Makes my mind up therefore just to crack on with the M3LR purchase for now.

With Giga Berlin having their opening tour today; showing off the new 4650 cells, Matrix headlights, paint methods and casting machine. Do we know if UK Model Y's will be coming from Germany or China in Q1 of next year?

 

[Katic1972]

It would be nice to know ANYTHING about what’s happening with Model Y in the UK. I’ve seen people say UK Y’s are to be MIC initially but who knows it’s all noise at present.

All RHD ones are currently being made in China as they're only going to Hong Kong (I think), but almost all of the RHD markets are on that side of the globe - Australia, New Zealand, Japan, etc. - so if post-Brexit import fees are similar for both MIC and MIG, I can't see it making much business sense to have Germany go to the trouble of building for the UK.

Longer term there may be other drivers that change the situation, but at the moment MIC MY seems to be the most likely.

 

[Katic1972]

As MIC is up and running you’d think it safe to say that we’d get Y’s from there first. When is MIG going to start producing cars? Middle of the year? I’d hope we’d see the MY in Q1 and if so, you’d think they’d have to be MIC cars.

 

[UrbanSplash]

Berlin has long been rumoured to be producing UK MY’s. I hope they do as they are likely to get a new paint choice.

My guess is £65k for a YP

I don't think anyone will be getting 4650 cells from Berlin or anywhere else

I changed the country to France and then back to UK and the order page appeared.
