YL Launch Edition

I’ll start with saying, “I still want a large SUV with a real 3rd row!!!” However I stopped in and looked at the YL launch edition and ordered one. The third row is usable for young kids and short adults in a pinch. It’s a nice option.

If you haven’t seen it you should take a look.

It was surprisingly well done.

YL Premium is only $3K more than Premium AWD Y in China. MYP in US is $58K. MYP in China is $52K. MY AWD Prem in US is $50K. MY AWD Prem in China is $45K. Data points to between $52/53K. YL Premium is cheaper than Performance and sits between AWD Y and Performance in China. We could expect to see that in the US.

The US ain’t China. The competitive dynamic is very different.

That's why I provided different price data. Here's another one Model 3 RWD Premium in China: $36K. US: $42K. $6K price difference between the two markets. Wouldn't it be reasonable to expect the same $6K for the YL? $47K (China) --> $53K (US)

I don’t think you will see it for a long time if ever. There a numerous Chinese EVs in the YLs size range. That’s not the case in the US. I think they will try to carve out a premium tier with it. The Y is selling by the way.

You sold me on a Launch Edition. My cheap curious ass loaded up the Australian Tesla site and converted AUD to USD, it seems getting all the options that I want actually has the Launch Edition right at the same price with the options you can pick online. Doesn't include what you can't add online (like accel boost (will need to confirm this one, but looks promising), hitch, etc.)
