I think it would be really smart of Tesla to be developing the Y and keep it quiet and roll it out when the demand for the 3 starts to taper.
I don't think Model 3 demand will taper for at least a decade.I don't think Tesla will wait until Model 3 demand tapers
I agree. If the Prius can create great demand and still be around, the Model 3 will be in great demand for quite some time. If Tesla can create a reliable car and get the charging and service network right, they will rule for a very long time.I don't think Model 3 demand will taper for at least a decade.

The small SUV is the fastest growing segment at least in the US.
Huge Demand for an affordable Tesla means buyers would choose the 3 in almost any form.
But later when that initial " I have to have a Tesla" demand is met , the Y would crush.
The premise moves from it needs to be a Ford F-truck competitor to be in the right segment for USA buyers.
Well, there was this: Biggest Automotive Missteps: Lincoln BlackwoodI know Tesla has built itself into that "luxury" segment of the market, but there aren't really any "luxury" pickup trucks (are there?).
Actually, that's a common mistake that people make about truck beds, tailgates, and aerodynamics. Actually, what happens with the truck cab, the tailgate, and the truck bed is it creates a still pillow of air. The air coming off the top of the truck cab then slides over top of that air pillow aerodynamically.That fan art seems to fail to take into consideration any aerodynamic design cues for the rear cab window area or truck bed/tailgate itself.
I know Tesla has built itself into that "luxury" segment of the market, but there aren't really any "luxury" pickup trucks (are there?). It'll be interesting to see how they sell if the starting price is similar to that of the S/X, which I assume it would be.
I also think Tesla's truck will be smaller than the Silverados and F150s of the world.

When people drive with the tailgate down, or replace the tailgate with a net that pillow of air is broken, and the air coming off the top of the cab will then be unaerodynamic, making fuel consumption, or in this case electric consumption, increase.
I learned this watching Mythbusters.
