Model Y was a known character before the announcement, so its official unveiling if anything had kind of the opposite effect. It put a pin to hoping for it to be available soon enough to hold off buying a Model 3 today and it is sufficiently advertised at a more expensive price to deter some more. Tesla's currently in a weird situation where it is in a local minimum of US purchases that it needs to book to make the quarter, while it has unsatisfied demand in EU and elsewhere but the delivery pipeline is not mature yet. Once that global shipping pipeline starts to fire on all cylinders (pun intended), it probably gives them enough runway to get to the Model Y without too much worry of shrinking demand in the US.
