    Now that Elon has semi-reined in on Twitter, Tesla can focus on the important things, like finally opening orders for its long-awaited $35 000 (around R500 000) Standard Range Model 3.

    They’ve also kept the momentum going by unveiling the Model Y.

    This one has a 500km range and a current starting price of $42 700 (roughly R618 000).

    The one thing that will set it apart from the Model X is that it won’t have those controversial falcon doors.

    Here’s Engadget with more:

    Musk announced that pre-orders for the vehicle are open right now. The CEO also said that the Model Y should be coming off production lines in 2019.

    Tesla has had difficulty in the past delivering its EVs within its own announced timelines. So, it’s a good idea to remember that if you happen to be one of the folks plunking down deposits for the first Model Y crossovers, it might be late showing up in your garage.

    Still, the company expects the Model Y to do well. During a conference call with investors back in January, Musk said he expects demand for the Model Y to be larger than that for the Model 3. Judging on US SUV sales overall, he might be right.

    While the Model X is an SUV, its high price puts it out of reach for the average Joe.

    The latest Tesla (like all their cars) is quick. The dual-motor performance Model Y will do zero to 60 in 3.5 seconds while the dual-motor long-range Model Y will cover that in 4.8 seconds.

    The single-motor rear-wheel drive long-range version will hit 60 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds.
