Yeah, Tesla definitely has a whole lot riding on the success of the Model Y, both in the U.S. and worldwide. They have taken the best bits of the Model 3 and applied them to this new crossover body, and then did some additional tweaking to make it better. I think that it was very smart of Tesla to bring the Model Y out early. There is a strong chance that several competitive EV crossovers will be coming out in 2020, but for right now there is nothing that competes in range, efficiency, price, cargo space, technology and performance. And that applies for both the Long Range and Performance models. There certainly are competitors that match or beat the Model Y in one or two areas, but not all. The Mach-E will come the closest from the EV crossovers that we know about, but the Mach-E GT is not due until next year. And even ignoring price, there is no EV crossover out yet that approaches the Model Y Performance's acceleration capability. For the Model 3, only the Porsche Taycan "Turbo" is quicker, and it costs nearly 3 times as much.
