Tesla launches Y in Europe – will bleeding be hiking?

Tesla advanced A new YRSSSOOVER performance version For the European market. The new variable aims to enhance the company’s sales on the continent, which was a free decrease for most of the year thanks to the increasing competition from China and the brand damage from the fascist alien from Elon Musk.

The function of the Y, which will be sold in September, appears to be a higher step of the basic model in most categories. It will be faster, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, compared to 4.8 seconds for the ordinary Y. It will have a longer range, with an estimated 580 km (360 miles) based on the most generous WLTP standard. It will have 460 hp, from 265 hp available in the rear -wheel drive model.

The improving performance did not come at the expense of efficiency, which Tesla cited thanks to the “new high -density battery cells”. The Yi model will be able to add 243 km (151 miles) of the range in 15 minutes. The battery must consume energy at a rate of 16.2 km/100 km.

Tesla has also made some adjustments to the appearance of the Y, adding the new front and rear fiber and carbon fiber spoiler to improve aerodynamics. New 21-inch wheels, compared to version 19-and 20 inches for RWD versions and long-term versions of the Y.

Inside the car, Tesla added some badges that resemble the engraved features used in other performance compounds. It also slightly increased the size of the central touch screen to 16 inches from 15.4. The quality of the drive should be better thanks to adaptive damping adjustments and new “high -speed driving” motor styles. This may be similar to the promotion of Tesla Model YL, which was just released in China, which has been praised Improving dealing with roads.

But the big question commenting on this new alternative is whether it will help in the heart of Tesla’s fortunes in Europe. Auto industry sales 42 percent fell amazing in July Buyers also flocked to Chinese brands like BYD. This trend, which we saw throughout the year, continued, as Tesla sales decreased every month in the European Union since January. Meanwhile, BYD sales increased in July 225 percent. The decline in sales coincided with the move to the right, including its support for the right AFD party in Germany.

Tesla installed its hopes in robots and self -driving cars to help the heart of things. But the auto industry company She did not get organizational approval To sell the full self -driving feature in the European Union, which limits the company’s efforts to push this special novel on the continent.

The performance of the Y model starts from 62,000 euros (about 73,000 dollars) in Germany – although prices will differ by country.
