Currently available in one dual motor, all-wheel drive (AWD) version, and a new tri motor Plaid powertrain, the Model X has much to offer. We will start with the older of our two Teslas, the Model X. Sure, they may not be quite as quick off the line as their sedan counterparts, but both the Model X and Model Y EVs pack an electric punch in range and speed. While these Tesla vehicles offer the most cargo room in the current lineup, they also sport more than adequate performance specs. It is currently only available on the Long Range trim however, not the Performance Model Y. While the third row seats couldn’t be completed in time for the Model Y’s initial launch, CEO Elon Musk stated that deliveries would begin in early December of 2020.ĭecember came and went, but Tesla finally added the seven-seat option to its purchase page in 2021. One last feature customers had to continually wait for was a seven-seat interior. Additionally, the new Model Y came with a USB port in the glovebox, complete with a Tesla branded storage device to save data for features like Sentry mode or a TeslaCam. Images of the new model revealed auto-dimming mirrors, laminated window glass, and metal scrolls on the steering wheel. However, this past fall, Electrek did discover a recently delivered Model Y and was able to confirm a few upgrades. Although it is a smaller and more streamlined version of the veteran Model X, the Model Y shares more of its mechanical makeup with the more recent Model 3 sedan.Ī refresh on the Model Y for 2021 was minimal since the EV hasn’t even had a first birthday yet. ![]() The Model Y, which was first delivered in March 2020, remains Tesla’s newest EV to roll off the assembly lines worldwide. With that said, Tesla did finally announce a 2021 refresh to the Model X SUV and Model S sedan. …Tesla didn’t tell Model S and Model X production line employees the reason behind the extended shutdown, but it is adding to the rumors of a design refresh for Model S and Model X.Ĭompared to Tesla’s other EVs in the fleet, the Model X saw minimal upgrades in 2020. It’s not unusual for Tesla to shut down production lines during the holidays, but this 18-day shutdown is longer than usual and not the same as Model 3 and Model Y production… Electrek’s own Fred Lambert had some interesting insight: Previously, Tesla announced it would be conducting an extended shutdown of the assembly lines of its Model S and Model X EVs into the new year. This is due to Tesla’s release of two smaller and less expensive EVs in the Model 3 sedan, and the X’s brand new counterpart, the Model Y. Shortly thereafter, the Model X quickly ranked as one of the top-selling plug-in EVs worldwide, although sales have since staggered a bit. While the Model X was originally unveiled in 2012, its first deliveries were not until the fall of 2015 due to production delays, particularly on its distinct Falcon Wing doors. Tesla’s Model X, its largest EV available, currently holds seniority as the automaker’s second-longest running model on its assembly lines behind the Model S.
