Source: USA Today
Tesla unveiled the Model Y SUV late Thursday in the Los Angeles area, marking the debut of a long-awaited electric vehicle that CEO Elon Musk predicted will be the company's best seller.
A two-row version with battery range of 300 miles and a starting price of $47,000 will arrive in fall 2020, he said. It will go 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds.
A performance model starting at $60,000 will also be available in that time frame, Tesla said. A three-row version will also be offered.
A base model with battery range of 230 miles and a starting price of $39,000 will arrive "sometime in 2021," Musk said. It will go 0 to 60 in 5.9 seconds. Tesla later pegged the base version's arrival at spring 2021.

(767 posts)But when you factor in MOUNTAINS what is the real mileage? I live 120 miles from South Lake Tahoe and it is UP hill all the way until Echo Summit at 7,700 feet. Will all 230 miles be used driving UP hill at half the distance??
