Tesla teases the Model Y yet again

No Comments

While Tesla is still working on ramping up Model 3 production, it doesn’t sound like its future vehicles’ development has fallen by the wayside. The automaker has revealed another shadowy sketch of the Model Y crossover SUV during its most recent shareholders meeting. Based on the photo Electrek grabbed, it doesn’t reveal a lot about the vehicle — the design sketch at least shows Model Y from a different angle than what the first photo showed — but Tesla chief Elon Musk shared a few details about the crossover. He said Model Y won’t have any leather and even joked that it might not have a steering wheel at all.

“Model Y will not have any leather in it,” the CEO said, “even in the steering wheel… even if it does have a steering wheel.” Musk might be joking, might but it won’t come as a surprise if Tesla decides not to put a steering wheel in the vehicle, seeing as other automakers intend to do the same for their fully autonomous vehicles. GM, for instance, announced its plans to release cars with no steering wheels in 2019 earlier this year. We’ll know for sure once Tesla launches the electric SUV, which could happen anytime between the end of this year and mid-2019.
