The new Model Y’s potential:
- The Model Y classic was Tesla’s best-selling vehicle, and in 2023 and 2024, it also became the world’s best-selling car by volume.
- The Model Y classic was able to accomplish these feats despite carrying a design language that is a generation behind that of its sedan sibling, the Model 3.
- Considering its revamped exterior and interior, the new Model Y could very well sell just as well as its predecessor.
