Model Y production is scheduled to begin in 2020 and the vehicle should be available sometime in the summer of 2020. This is a crossover vehicle that shares many of the same parts with the Model 3. This implies that it will likely be extremely profitable, relatively easy to produce in large scale, and could be enormously popular.
The consensus now is that the vehicle will be constructed at Tesla’s Fremont factory as well as at Tesla’s factory in Shanghai. Company insiders, including Elon Musk, have also expressed that due to the popularity of the crossover vehicle across the globe, the Model Y is likely to experience substantially higher demand than the Model 3 vehicle, perhaps double. This implies the Model Y could sell around 500K units or more annually in the early 2020s (2021/2022).
