A few days ago, Musk announced the official launch date of his fifth electric car, Model Y, on Twitter. Tesla CEO Musk called the car a cross-border SUV of Tesla. It is understood that the car will share about 75% of the parts with the current Model 3, the weight of the whole car will increase by about 10% compared with the Model 3, and the cost will increase by about 10%, which can be regarded as a compact Model X.

At present, what is certain about the car is that it will be officially launched on March 14 and will be built at the company's super factory outside Reno, Nevada. Some people have been curious about whether the car will be equipped with Model X's "gull wing door", but from Musk's positioning of the car, it will not be equipped with the technology under strict cost control. In addition, Musk also mentioned on Twitter that he would provide news of test driving and the launch of electric pickups.

A few days ago, the domestic car owners' rights protection caused by Tesla's price reduction has attracted the attention of the majority of consumers. Tesla plans to close many offline stores around the world and shift to an online sales model. Musk was the first to announce the new model on Twitter, which shows that Musk has become Tesla's unique salesman.

Similarly, Musk is expected to build "Supercharger" electric vehicle charging stations in China in order to accelerate his strategy in China. However, Musk did not say that the car is suitable for its domestic debut, and several media have speculated that the car will make its debut in China in April. According to previous news, the car will be officially made in 2021.
