Previously, Tesla China had opened orders for the China Made Model Y on June 2020, with prices of the two variants at 488,000 yuan ($68,580 USD) for the Long Range model & 535,000 yuan ($75,185 USD) for the Performance model.
The first Model Y deliveries began in North America in March, which is half a year faster than previously planned. Tesla produces cars faster every year than before. The accumulated experience is used in order to implement their plans as quickly as possible and provide customers with cars that are in high demand.
Model Y is a compact SUV. This segment is becoming increasingly popular, so the demand for it is growing rapidly. In 2021, Europeans will also be able to get the first Model Y made in Germany, as the new Tesla Giga Berlin factory is going up with astonishing speed.
