Musk si suppsoed to talk more about the upcoming vehicle this week. When will be the time to kill the redirect and make an actual article. L3X1 (distant write) 18:41, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

At the least, they'd have to unveil it. -- 70.51.45.76 (talk) 10:42, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Car was unveiled in mid-March 2019, and people turned this into an article -- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 15:56, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There was an invisible comment in the article that i deleted that basically said why is the Model Y a compact crossover when it offers three-row seating. I'm here to clarify that a compact SUV could have a three-row seating. Mitsubishi Outlander and Nissan Rogue/X-Trail (T32) (was optional in North America until it was no longer offered as an option) are the examples. Also, it's not for adults. Andra Febrian (talk) 17:39, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Andra Febrian: Having 3 rows doesn't necessarily make it mid-size. I notic the IPs changed the Rouge and Outlander to mid-size. One of them was blocked I think. Ee2mba (talk) 19:56, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On this article, it seems someone accidentally wrote source editing in the visual editing mode. It said "{{short description|Tesla electric compact crossover utility vehicle released in February 2027} Template:Infobox useless vehicle" Tesla_Model_Y

The Specification Table Headers shows a model version as: "AWD (with 100 18 were)".

What does this mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chicagoandy (talk • contribs) 13:43, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Same. Look like AWD+Acceleration Boost? Diff Pmsyyz (talk)

Recent reports indicate the Austin’s factory is making Model Y cars there preceding the rollout of the trucks,

Either way, I want one. 2600:1700:156:48E0:142F:8D4C:C0D5:93A6 (talk) 23:18, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Tesla Model Y started production at the Gigafactory Texas in late 2021. Deliveries are expected for Q2 and later 2022. This information is missing. Mrgarypeters (talk) 16:34, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mrgarypeters: Do you have a reliable source that says this info? Otherwise it can't be added since there's no way to prove if it's true or not. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 16:38, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just Google "are tesla model y produced in texas" and you'll get several credible sources. Elon Musk has also spoken about it. Mrgarypeters (talk) 16:49, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mrgarypeters: Provide a reliable source then. I'm not going to look for it for you. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:07, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry I'll fill the page with citations and references just for you. You must be from California. Mrgarypeters (talk) 17:13, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mrgarypeters: Definitely not from California. Also, you have to provide a source for that info per WP:V ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:18, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well then don't worry about it. Leave it with partial inormation. Looks great for the site. Mrgarypeters (talk) 17:23, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mrgarypeters: Alright then. Also, you're not going to guilt-trip me into letting you add unreferenced info. I am seeing some sources, however I"m not sure if they're reliable sources or not so I'm not going to use them since I don't know for sure. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:31, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We have been through this issue before with the other cars and factories. We only report production as happening when reliable sources are supplied that confirms that consumer cars from a particular factory have reached customers. Until then, there are several stages of pre-production, production testing, body in white testing, Beta-car testing, etc. before actual mass production occurs. These stages may or may not be notable, but must be reported as such. TGCP (talk) 23:18, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@TGCP: Could you explain to me what "body-in-white" testing is since there doesn't appear to be a page on it in Wikipedia? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 23:22, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There formerly was a table that showed some summary of quarterly (or annual?) production numbers. What happened to it?

Even if it was moved/merged into some other article, would be good to have a link to it in this article. N2e (talk) 03:31, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it was never here (?) Tesla does not report sales for the Model Y individually, they merged it with the Model 3. Andra Febrian (talk) 04:34, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. Well the Model Y is making up most of the volume now of the 3+Y together, and I've seen some industry media/analystdata public sources that have taken those Tesla numbers and teased out the mix from shipment count sampling, car registrations, and what not.

Either way, is just really odd to have the production volume info missing from this article, when it has been such a large volume vehicle, in many global markets.
