New Tesla Model Y Variants Expected To Roll Out Later This Year
In keeping with its reputation for innovation and speed, Tesla’s Vice President of Vehicle Engineering, Lars Moravy, recently confirmed that new variants of the Model Y are set to hit the market later this year. In a discussion with Jay Leno, Moravy revealed that Tesla will be launching the sought-after Dual-Motor base edition, Rear-Wheel Drive, Performance, and seven-seater options.
Anticipated Model Y Variants: What’s Coming?
As per Tesla’s tradition, a “Launch Edition” of the Model Y is being released first. The Launch Edition is set to cost $59,990, $4,000 more than a similarly equipped Long Range All-Wheel Drive model. Moreover, Tesla’s Launch Edition features a “reimagined” interior and exterior, and includes Autopilot or “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)” feature. The upcoming variants are bound to continue the tradition of diverse and appealing choices for Tesla enthusiasts and prospective EV buyers alike.
“We’re starting with the Launch edition,” Moravy said, adding that “All the other variants – the Dual-Motor base edition, Rear-Wheel Drive, Performance, seven-seater options – those will come later in the year.”
What To Expect From The New Model Y
So, what exactly does the new Model Y offer? According to Franz Von Holzhausen, Tesla’s head of design, the cabin features new synthetic leather that is easy to maintain. The updated model also includes other improvements like an automatic front seat adjustment system when the rear seats are folded, a dual phone supporting wireless charger, and a button in the trunk to automatically raise the folded-down rear seats.
Interestingly, in an exclusive move, rear-seat passengers can now pair their phones with the rear-seat screen for an immersive experience. The noise insulating laminated glass keeps the cabin quiet, and the redesigned roof glass rejected heat by about 25 to 30 percent more. Hence, the inside temperature remains cooler.
Other than these promising interior advancements, Tesla has also stepped up their game in terms of power. The new Model Y boasts an output of 455 horsepower and 430 pounds-feet of torque, a significant increase compared to the dual-motor Model Y’s 410 horsepower property.
How Will The New Variant Affect The Real Estate Industry?
The introduction of these new Tesla Model Y variants does not just implicate car enthusiasts; it has significant ramifications for the real estate and construction industry too. The construction of charging stations and infrastructure to support EVs is set to become a crucial factor in real estate developments.
Builders concerned with future-proofing their properties will have to consider integrating EV charging infrastructure in their designs.Future-forward buildings will need to take into account the increasing numbers of EVs on the roads and provide for Tesla and other EV charging stations.
Conclusion
Tesla’s constant innovation and iteration have once again delivered an exciting addition to the EV market with the announcement of new Model Y variants. Not only does it bring new options for Tesla and EV enthusiasts, but it also further underlines the need for more sustainable and forward-thinking infrastructure in our cities and homes.
