Ha. If that looks dated, I'd like to be its date

The design may look similar to the 3, but there are important differences.
The Model Y is a hatchback.
See the line over the rear quarter panel between the tail light and the side window, and high up on the rear window.
The hatch lid is huge. You can move house with that.

It seats 7 (optionally). The doors seem set slightly forward, the chairs probably are too; it must have higher seats, winning leg room.

Judging by the 230 mile range for the Standard range, it probably uses the same pack as the lighter and lower 264 mile Medium range Model 3 (62 kWh).

Don't worry for the Model 3 though. It is cheaper, that will never lose appeal.
The Model Y Standard range won't be built until 2021. Lease drivers can't wait for that when their new lease is due.
Model 3 versions cheaper than €50,000 will come available soon; our lease market will go crazy for them, especially since diesels are on their way out.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
