    Yep, we will for sure be buying a Y at some point. My guess is 2-3 years from now, maybe 4.

    Somehow I suspect you'll be paying in cash from stock and trade-in of your Model 3. <GRINS>

    No, it is still backup for the Tesla. Having a backup is better than car rental.

    :) Time will tell, but we may end up keeping the Model 3. Eventually we'd both like to have a Tesla for a daily driver. Currently her 2nd Gen Leaf is perfect for our use. It is our go to around town car. That way we don't have to worry about door dings and the like in the Tesla. Also have the Cybertruck on my radar. :)

    It would be a tow vehicle actually, for an RV.

    I'd rather have a Model X based RV.

    More towing capacity plus the 240V plug makes it a great choice for RV's IMO.

    It's been several years since I've studied the EPA rating procedure, but as I recall, the raw data from the test cycles are plugged in to a complicated formula to calculate a more realistic, lower official EPA rating. If the leaked information is based on only on the raw drive cycle data, then it is conceivable that the official EPA estimates will be signicantly lower.

    The official EPA ranges for the other long range Tesla's are around 300 miles or so.

    I am quite happy with the 3. My wife has been looking forward to the Y for some time and has a reservation in. I'm planning for mid summer.

    Then use the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) and we'll all be happy.

    When EU vehicles reach our shores, we use the EPA test procedures. Not always perfect but perfectible. We have a lot of insights reaching back into the raw data used to calculate the results. Because of this, we can easily calculate and predict relative performance of cars we don't own.

    If you are interested, I'd be happy to post a tutorial on how we do this.
