That’s left hand drive though isn’t it? Pretty sure RHD isn’t until next year?
My friend who has just committed to a BMW iX3 is going to be mightily cheesed off if you’re right.
Thought I read somewhere that UK-spec Model Y would be made at Giga Berlin only?
Sorry, I didn’t look at your flag
I think the change in rumour is being fuelled by RHD model y being manufactured in China.

It was the same for all European cars Model Y will not be exported to Europe, only available from German Gigafactory
I guess that's changing with the delays to Giga Berlin

'screwed' how so? We're a much smaller market with a different configuration

We're the 10th largest country by car sales in the world.
The model y is due in France in august ahead of schedule according to this article.

Given the UK is no longer in the EU I would pretty much expect that RHD cars could be made in China and imported to UK at very low import tariff ... as long as they are 'finished' in the UK, e.g. by gluing on a UK flag.
It actually wouldn't make sense to make RHD in Berlin.
Plus didn't UK join (or apply to join) CPTPP which would include several RHD regions and countries like Japan.

I look foreward to being wrong on this.
New Model Y ‘Standard range’ in China coming soon. Says over 300 miles range so are they doing a ‘LR single motor’? otherwise I’d have expected below 250 miles if it was a 50kwh battery with the slightly less aero efficient Y shape

Hope that's not true, the 4680 cells, structural battery pack, ungraded paint shop (maybe new colours), German-made, possible slightly different European spec, are just a few of the reasons I want a Model Y, take all that away and I'm not so keen.
I think it will still be pretty competitive with the alternatives that are out there for a while to come. If I was in the market for a hatchback EV right now I’d very happy with a MIC Y.
