Tesla Model Y returned to life as anticipation mounts for official unveiling

Members of the Tesla community took the initiative to bring Model Y to life before the official unveiling event to be held on Thursday.

The Redditor J380 shared a realistic rendering of the Y model that took the image of Model 3 and expanded its proportions compared to Tesla's teaser image of the next all-electric crossover. By transposing the Model 3's headlight and roofline into an image of the Y model's silhouette, you might be able to visualize a vehicle that looks a bit like a miniature version of the Model X.

The second photo shared by another Reddit user "filled in" the same email-generated shadow picture, describing the EV crossover with a wider hood and a thicker overall appearance than the model 3-based rendering. image was then modified to lighten the appearance, thus increasing overall visibility.

This is not the first time that the Tesla community is using Photoshop to bring a Y model to life. Motivated by a teaser-like image shared in 2018 by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, graphic designer and Tesla enthusiast Miguel Massé, imagined a crossover with a generous ground clearance and an aggressive attitude. Massé also imagined a $ 25,000 sub-compact Tesla sedan, first mentioned by Musk during an exclusive interview with MKBHD, a technical critic and social media influencer.

The Tesla Y model is expected to generate more demand than the Model 3 and sell at a rate of nearly 1 million units per year. According to Musk, Model Y will also have much lower production costs than any other vehicle in its fleet and will reach a rapid production ramp based on sharing 75% of its components with Model 3. Previously, the company had planned to build the crossover the an entirely new architecture and coming from a dedicated factory, but after the Tesla management team brought Musk back from "cliffs of madness", it was decided that the model 3 would be the central architecture of the new vehicle.

True to the trend of the company's previous events, the Tesla community has also speculated that more than the new vehicle would be announced. Some suggestions included the company's 100% electric van as an additional revelation. V3 booster stations have also been identified during installation at the LA Design Center, suggesting that the Y model will be able to support a load rate of 1,000 miles per hour.
