Tesla May Have Just Teased the Model Y Crossover
Tesla released a quarterly promotional video this week showing a portion of a mysterious car that could be the Model Y crossover.
The video, which was tweeted out by company CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday, is a montage of clips showing all the different projects Tesla is working on. From the Model 3 to Tesla Power Walls and everything in between, it’s all in here. Including a glimpse of a yet-to-be-seen car.
The vehicles appear to take on a similar shape to the Model X with a tall passenger compartment. It sits noticeably lower than you might expect a crossover to, but then again, so does the Model X. It’s not been confirmed that this mystery model is indeed the Model Y, but it’s hard to think of another vehicle Tesla would be working on. Then again, it could simply be an early design mock-up for the Model 3 underneath a sheet.

The video also features a short clip of a Model 3 being painted matte black and speeding through a warehouse. The vehicle appears to feature larger brakes than the standard Model 3 along with red brake calipers, suggesting it could be the all-wheel drive version or even the performance model.
Check out the video embedded above.
