I wouldn't want more clearance on my Model 3 since I'm sure it would reduce the range and practically speaking, I just use it to commute.
- nightski 8y agoIt's practical in CA like climates - but it's not practical in cities such as Minneapolis, MN. I'm not talking off road driving here, just driving in a city in the winter. My wife has a Honda fit and it also is a nightmare clearance wise. But it is front wheel drive, which helps. I will watch out for the Model Y though, but it's unlikely it will be in an affordable range.
- azhenley 8y agoIIRC the Model Y is supposed to also start at 35k (or close to it). It is the cheap version of the Y, like the 3 is to the S. From reviews, the Model 3 AWD is phenomenal for driving on snow and ice.
- tfehring 8y agoI live in Minneapolis and see Teslas all the time. The AWD Model 3 is priced similarly to an AWD 3-series or A4, both of which I also see constantly. It's frustrating that Tesla tries to position the Model 3 as an inexpensive car when it's really situated as an entry-level luxury sedan, but the price and features are appropriate for the segment it's in.
- andrewmunsell 8y agoThe Y will certainly be more expensive, so depending on how they eventually price the 3 AWD and Y, it could be even more of a luxury car.
- azhenley 8y agoThe rumor mill says the Model Y will start at 35-40k.
