What BEVs are you cross-shopping against the Model Y?

[Zoomit]

The Model Y will enter the mid-sized CUV market with few battery-only competitors. Which of these other models do you expect to seriously consider before making a purchase decision on the Model Y?

 

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

You missed the "None (Tesla Fanboi)" option.

Unless the Model Y is critically deficient in some way I'm not looking elsewhere. Not so much for fanboy reasons, but I think the Supercharger network is still a huge advantage if long distance travel is a consideration. I'll be getting free charging at work- so local commuting costs will be zero. But with us just moved to California last year, there's a lot fo the West Coast to see...

Model S P100D. If prices are similar in spring 2021 then I have no reason to get the Y. The S can hold kids and a dog just fine. I won’t be supercharging more than a few times a year so charging speed doesn’t mean much and I’m almost positive the S will look better. Lastly, who wouldn’t want the quickest accelerating sedan ever made?

 

[McManX]

Basically for me it’s either:
1 - model y works for dogs with awd range over 300 miles
Or
2. Order X once it is updated for full supercharger V3 compatibility

Why would you think Y AWD will be over 300 mi? Musk said it'd be 10% less range than 3, which puts Y LRD around 279 mi.

lol rivian? You're missing the Tesla truck and roadster too, and every other mythical planned ev

I'm optimistic about Rivian but of course they've yet to sell anything.

I think what might be more interesting in late 2020 (when Model Y is supposedly to go into full production) will be entrants from GM and Ford. The Mach1, or whatever they call it, may be out then or shortly thereafter. GM has said they'd have 2 BEV CUVs in production in 2020. They've been pretty silent since introducing the Bolt in 2016 so I expect a Model Y competitor from GM to be announced soon, probably a Cadillac CUV.

 

[HugoBoss]

I'll get a model Y if it seats more than 5. I need altleast 6 seats. If it doesn't I will end up getting another 7 seater X, I can wait for now so I'll wait for some type of refresh. Although I can't rule out Rivians SUV.

 

[RFernatt]

I will be cross shopping all small AWD BEV SUV options that include access to a Supercharger style network, have around 300 miles of range, and are priced around $50K. And, suddenly, the crowded field turns into one choice.

So much this. If Tesla fails the U.S. consumer market is absolutely clueless.

Well, that doesn't leave much hope then.

Lol true. They already don’t buy the 3 because “electric cars only drive like 50 miles and take hours to charge duuuuuude”

 

[Zoomit]

I work with a guy that has a Leaf and didn't realize the Model 3 had 310 mi range. The education mountain the EV industry is facing is like the Himalayas.

 

[Krugerrand]

Not cross shopping. Been specifically waiting for the Y.

GTFO. The model 3 has a 310 mile range? Waaaah????

Sorry. Just kinda felt right.

 

[TSL_CAN]

Model Y, Model 3, Model S ... in that order.

 

[Boourns]

The Polestar 3 is going to be an EV and due around 2021.

I guess I mean about 300. 275+ is fine

Meh. If it’s similar to the one they just revealed then it’s ugly!!!! I don’t get how the company that made the xc60 and 90 made that thing. Even the xc40 is better than that.
