Tesla unveils Model Y

Tesla Model Y event in 3 minutes

Looks like another winner for Tesla. Hopefully they can get their production and quality issues under control with the Model 3 and avoid those issues with the Model Y. They've certainly brought S3XY back.

All that said, his presentations are generally really awkward. Fans don't mind - they see it as endearing - but at some point, he's going to need to add some polish.

I don’t think the whole electric car thing is ever going to take off. It’s inevitable that some other fuel source is going to have to replace gasoline. The whole ‘giant rechargeable battery’ thing just has such obvious limitations that it’s just isn’t a realistic replacement for gas.

Yeah man, can't imagine not fueling up my cell phone with of dinosaur piss and feces anymore

Plugging it into a wall at 1/50 cost seems impractical

IMO electricity is overrated

Solar is the future. We have all the energy we will ever need witht the son.

Solar powered planes? How do they fly at night when the ‘son’ isn’t out?

The design and shape is kind of stale at this time. Is it actually going to be affordable to the masses? 2nd thing he needs to do is create an actual 4x4 electric truck that can go off road. That is a huge part of the market

Electricity is what our civilization is going towards as a whole at the consumer level and slowly (too slowly imo) at commercial level.

The only limitation currently is range (mostly due to inefficient battery storage), but within next 5yrs, I expect range for fully charged batteries to equal or even exceed that of gas cars on full tank.

What other limitations do you see beyond range and maybe battery disposal at the end of its life-cycle being not environmentally friendly? Coal has to go because 40% of electricity generated globally comes from coal - that must change fast.
