TMC Member Spots Tesla Model Y in the Wild

Pretty much same area they tested all models.

I saw this car yesterday on 280 near Page Mill.

Whaa... It would look cool if I could tell what it looks like.

 

[BulldogsRus]

Be great if they offered them in Signature Series again.

What did the signature series get you? I remember seeing TeslaBjorn had a signature X, and it seemed to only have the cool display on the dash.

I think the initial X and S Signatures came in a unique red paint, and were fully optioned w/ventilated seating, etc. Also the X initially offered the retractable spoiler.

That spoiler on the X was so cool. Signature Y with the spoiler for sure!

We may be adding an integrated, retractable spoiler to our 3 and/or S soon. If we do, you should stop by to check it out.

Hmm..those wheels look way too small . Frankly whole car looks underwheling in that black color.

 

[MrBigSmiles]

Saw this red Model Y on the road this morning.

 

[DavidPetr.]

Nice, but it needs new tires

How about in dark grey? Sighted today in Washington state. Local Tesla owners will know this location.

I see that Electrek already reported the same Y I saw, I suspect. Tesla Model Y prototype spotted in Washington - start of long-distance testing? - Electrek

When I pulled up to the Supercharger, I plugged in and then noticed what at a glance looked like a Model X with a car cover on, in a charging stall and plugged in. I thought that was odd. As I walked I noticed that the charge port was the Model 3 style. I immediately realized that the car had to be a Model Y. There was a white 3 parked next to it, charging. A guy got out and said “Can I help you?” Of course he was a Tesla employee who just wanted to make sure that I didn’t do anything crazy with the car. We exchanged pleasantries and I thanked him for his work with Tesla. My wife and I went to eat and when we came out out the cars were still there, with the Y still covered. We unplugged and got into our car and took about a minute getting organized to go, pulled out and I saw the Y was now uncovered and the white 3 was leaving. As we started forward the Y backed up right in front of us. I had not taken any photos earlier with the car covered because I told the Tesla employee I wouldn’t and there was nothing to see. But with it uncovered I thought it was newsworthy. First time I’ve seen a gray Y, and those wheels in real life.

Same Manufacture California License plate!

 

[viperboy]

Looks huge here compared to the other photos of the Y

 

[ecarfan]

The Electrek story does not show the plate.

 

[ElectricLee]

where did you see this one?

 

[Sean Wagner]

I've noticed that the rear hatch's outline has been slightly altered and curves down to meet the taillights at a less oblique angle, which also means the rear fender's outline changes. It's now analogous to the 3 - less swoopy.

New: see the dark grey one above

Looks like that one made its way East. Spotted in Columbus Ohio.
