The ability to build the car is not really related to unveiling it, is it? They couldn't build any of the other vehicles when they were unveiled.There is also the question of building yet another bunch of factories. With the Model Y if I understand correctly the Gigafactory will not be able to supply the needed cells plus of course where would they build it? Not in Freemont, that is for sure as Freemont is bursting at the seams when Model 3 is in full swing. So they first need to get some money (from 3) then build another gigafactory then a factory for the model y. Lets not forget they also have to sort out Semi and Roadster production in the meantime. Too many balls in the air is a dangerous game, but one that Elon seems to be rather good at.
Well kind of. You would not unveil a car thats 5 years off, right?The ability to build the car is not really related to unveiling it, is it? They couldn't build any of the other vehicles when they were unveiled.

My assumption is they want at least one plausibly cashflow-positive quarter under their belt before they go into more announcements; they don't have to announce it before it goes to the configurator. After all, they could just post a letter on Tesla.Com News that says "Look at http://tesla.com/modely and order today!" and that's all the notice we ever get, with it already in delivery, say a month after All Wheel Drive Model 3 has been shipping. I think Tesla should develop more car models in stealth mode while it's busy with ramp ups; it would give it a less constant vaporware status.Perhaps time to for an updated poll.
I guessing spring of 2018. Tesla should be out of Model 3 production hell by then.
