AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/03 Report--

It is understood that Tesla CEO Elon Musk did not show a high-performance version of Model Y when he released it this year.

"I deliberately didn't tell the whole story when I released Model Y because I didn't want to convince people to buy Model Y instead of Model 3," Musk said, adding, "if everyone decides to buy Model Y instead of Model 3, then Model 3 will have no customers and Model Y will no longer exist."

On March 15 this year, Musk released Tesla's first cross-border SUV model, Model Y. It also says Model Y will be available as soon as 2020, starting at $39,000. According to Tesla's website, the company will also produce for the North American market by the end of 2020, while the European and Chinese markets will not start production until early 2021.

Earlier, Tesla employees revealed that Tesla had slowed down the production of two electric vehicles, the Model S and the Model X. Tesla no longer produces the Model S and Model X electric cars at night and on weekends. Because it is likely to make way for the production of Model Y, a cross-border sports utility electric vehicle.

But Tesla executives have not yet decided where Model Y will be produced, as Tesla executives are trying to vacate space from the superbattery factory to produce Model Y, or to merge Model S and Model X at the Fremont superfactory in Fremont, California to make room for Model Y.

Musk said in a blog interview: "at present, our default plan is to produce Model Y in Flemon." At first I doubted whether this would work, but my team convinced me that the quickest way to achieve mass production was to produce Model Y in Fremont. " It means that Tesla currently produces Model Y SUV at a factory in Fairmont, California.
