Part 2/8:
With the latest Model Y, Tesla made a conscious effort to distinguish it from the Model 3, which was seen as its “big brother.” The initial Model Y design shared many components with the Model 3, but as the Model Y evolved into the bestselling car globally, Tesla aimed for it to have a unique aesthetic. This shift was facilitated by creating a dedicated supply chain and production facilities, allowing for custom designs rather than merely adapting existing parts.
The design draws inspiration from the Cyber truck and includes a distinctive rear light bar that measures over five feet and utilizes indirect reflective technology. This has resulted in a fresh look that embodies Tesla’s design ethos while incorporating innovative features that stand out in the EV market.
