Tesla has long teased a Model Y, or fourth production car for its lineup, which will be another SUV, this time a compact likely with a more attractive and generally palatable price point. The Model Y fits with Tesla\u2019s schoolyard humor name scheme, bringing\u00a0the \u201cS3X\u201d model lineup\u00a0to its natural,\u00a0\u201cS3XY\u201d conclusion. Now, it looks like we could learn more about the Y shortly.<\/p>\n
While Musk replied publicly to a tweet from a fan that we\u2019re not likely to see a Y for \u201ca few years\u201d yet, Musk noted in a direct message to Ars Technica<\/a> (via Elecktrek<\/a>) that \u201cNext week\u201d is when we can expect to here more about a prospective fourth model.<\/p>\n That\u2019s not much to go on, but paired with his acknowledgement that a \u201cY\u201d is an inevitability, if only because of his commitment to the daddest joke of all time.<\/p>\n Musk also brought up the Model Y on an earnings call last year, noting that it would be the focus after the Model 3, specifically because it\u2019s going to be the next strongest offering Tesla can put forward in terms of demand. That\u2019s also when he laid out that it would take the shape of a compact SUV. It\u2019s likely the Y will be built on the same basic platform as the Model 3, which is designed to support different chassis configurations for different purposes.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not clear at all how this news will arrive, but keep your eyes on Musk\u2019s Twitter \u2013 he tends to reveal a lot of salient details related to Tesla\u2019s business in 140 character increments.<\/p>\n Model X pictured above, since\u00a0Model Y is not yet an actual thing.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/11\/model-x-tesla.jpg?w=680\")
