New battery technology | best cheap electric car

A new battery technology that could significantly reduce the price of electric cars and home battery systems has taken a major step towards commercialization.

Next generation replacement batteries for EV’s could benefit from the cheaper zinc manganese batteries. Picture: Anthony Broese van Groenou

South Australian researchers from the University of Adelaide have secured an A$1 million research contract with a Chinese battery manufacturer to develop the new technology and bring it to market within 12 months.

The patented design uses non-toxic zinc and manganese, two metals that are abundant in Australia, and incombustible aqueous electrolyte to produce a battery with a high-energy density.

The researchers estimate the cost of this new electrolytic Zn–Mn battery to be less than US$ 10 per kWh compared with US$ 300 per kWh for current Li-ion batteries, US$ 72 per kWh for Ni–Fe batteries and US$ 48 per kWh for Lead–acid batteries.

Fuel Economy is excellent. The EPA estimates the 2021 CR-V will provide you with 40mpg city, 35mpg highway and 38 combined. The hybrid’s total range is 440 miles.

There are 4 CR-V trims: Hybrid LX (MSRP: $27,850); Hybrid EX (MSRP: $30,360); Hybrid EX-L (MSRP: $32,850); and Hybrid Touring (MSRP: $36,050).

Hybrid LX features include: Real Time AWD; Honda Sensing; an Easy Fold-Down 60/40 Split Rear Seatback; a Power Flow Monitor; ECON, Sport and EV Drive Modes; a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera; LED Headlights with Auto-On/Off; Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock; Auto High-Beam Headlights; an Automatic Climate Control System; Push Button Start; a Retractable Cargo Area Cover; a 160-Watt Audio System with 4 Speakers; Bluetooth HandsFreeLink; USB Audio Interface; Pandora Compatibility; Remote Entry System; Idle-Stop.

Perawatan Mobil Kunci Utama Kendaraan Panjang Umur

Keputusan memiliki mobil dapat didasari oleh berbagai latar belakang. Salah satunya adalah kebutuhan sarana transportasi untuk menunjang aktifitas sehari-hari. Untuk alasan tersebut tentunya sebagai pengendara pasti sangat tidak menyukai jika kondisi mobil bermasalah ketika digunakan. Agar hal itu dapat dicegah, caranya adalah dengan melakukan perawatan mobil secara berkala.

Perawatan mobil secara berkala atau servis rutin biasanya termasuk prosedur yang diwajibkan oleh pabrikan. Apabila mobil masih dalam masa garansi tapi tidak melakukan perawatan berkala di bengkel resmi maka garansi yang dimiliki tersebut bisa hangus atau tidak berlaku lagi.

Tidak hanya mobil baru, untuk Sahabat yang memiliki mobil bekas juga wajib melakukan perawatan mobil secara berkala untuk kendaraan kesayanganya agar kondisinya tetap prima.

Keuntungan Melakukan Perawatan Mobil

Manfaat yang Sahabat dapatkan apabila melakukan perawatan mobil secara berkala pada kendaraan yaitu kondisi mesin kendaraan akan selalu dalam performa yang maksimal. Seiring dengan pemakaian kendaraan untuk keperluan sehari-hari, pastinya beberapa komponen akan mengalami perubahan. Misalnya seperti saringan udara menjadi kotor, busi menjadi aus, atau kampas rem yang semakin tipis. Pada perawatan mobil berkala, komponen tersebut dilakukan pembersihan atau penyetelan kembali. Jika ada part mobil yang tidak dapat berfungsi maka akan dilakukan penggantian. Dengan begitu maka kondisi mesin mobil akan selalu dalam kondisi yang maksimal.

Dengan melakukan perawatan mobil secara rutin, maka semua sistem bisa dipastikan bekerja dengan baik. Jika kendaraan selalu dalam kondisi yang baik maka pengendara akan terhindar dari perasaan was-was.

Manfaat lainnya dari perawatan mobil secara rutin adalah dapat mengurangi beban pengeluaran yang lebih besar. Jika masalah pada kendaraan dapat terdeteksi lebih awal sebelum terjadi kerusakan yang lebih parah dan lebih banyak. Hal ini cukup penting karena pada mobil banyak berbagai system yang saling berkaitan. Dengan mengetahui kondisi lebih awal saat perawatan mobil dilakukan maka Sahabat bisa mengatur pengeluaran untuk penggantian komponen yang rusak tersebut.

Tidak hanya bagian mesin, perawatan mobil itu harus dilakukan secara menyeluruh yang meliputi bagian interior hingga eksterior. Karena jika kondisi mobil Sahabat sehat luar dalam, Sahabat pun akan merasakan kenyamanan saat berkendara baik sendiri maupun bersama keluarga. Dan meski berpergian dengan jarak tempuh yang jauh pun, Sahabat dan keluarga akan merasa tenang karena mobil dirawat dengan baik.

Bagian mobil yang wajib diperiksa sebelum berkendara jauh

Melakukan perawatan mobil selalu di gadang-gadang sebagai hal yang wajib dilakukan ketika memiliki kendaraan. Apalagi bila kendaraan yang Sahabat miliki merupakan mobil bekas, atau mobil yang sudah cukup berumur tua. Perawatan mobil berkala atau servis rutin menjadi hal penting karena bertujuan untuk menjaga kondisi mobil agar selalu prima ketika hendak dipakai bepergian baik dengan jarak tempuh dekat maupun jauh.

Mobil yang dipakai untuk berkendara jauh biasanya akan mengalami perjalanan yang identik dengan macet, sehingga mobil yang biasanya di hidupkan sekitar 8-10 jam sehari bisa menjadi 20-24 jam.

Hal ini menyebabkan mesin dan komponen mobil di paksa ke tahap maksimal, terbayang kan apa yang akan terjadi ketika salah satu komponen mobil Sahabat rusak ketika ditengah jalan. Maka dari itu perawatan mobil secara menyeluruh sangat penting!

Dalam perawatan mobil ada beberapa poin penting dalam pengecekan yaitu:

1. Ban

- Lakukan pengecekan untuk alur ban, dan kebocoran

- Tekanan angin yang sesuai, biasanya terdapat sticker rekomendasi di pintu driver

- Lakukan spooring dan balancing jika perlu

- Lakukan rotasi ban jika perlu

- Ban cadangan harus dalam keadaan optimal

- Untuk pencegahan kita dapat mengisi cairan penambal otomatis di setiap ban yang dapat dibeli di toko otomotif.

2. Rem

- Pengecekan Oli rem untuk jumlah oli dan kelayakan pakai olinya

- Pengecekan kampas rem, hanya dapat dilakukan oleh tenaga ahli

3. Suspensi

Dalam rangkaian perawatan mobil, pengecekkan suspensi terbagi menjadi 2

- Pengecekan untuk kebocoran damper

- Pengecekan dudukan karet suspensi

4. Oli mesin

Saat perawatan mobil dilakukan oli harus diganti dengan oli yang berkualitas tinggi dan yang tahan panas, karena dengan kondisi macet otomatis mesin akan menjadi lebih panas, oli yang berkualitas rendah akan lebih mudah menguap dan rusak kadar olinya. Banyak Video online yang menjelaskan perbandingan antara oli berkualitas dengan oli biasa.

5. Coolant (air radiator)

Perawatan mobil di bagian radiator menjadi penting karena belajar dari pengalaman mudik, banyak kita melihat mobil-mobil di pinggir jalan dengan kap mesin terbuka dan uap panas keluar dari mesinnya, itu biasanya disebabkan karena mesin over heating, sehingga tekanan di dalam radiator meningkat sampai akhirnya ada part yang jebol.

Penyebab utama overheating adalah air radiator yang diisi dengan air biasa (air kondensasi AC) hal ini tidak akan menjadi masalah ketika mobil berjalan, tetapi ketika kena macet parah air tersebut tidak akan cukup untuk mendinginkan mesin dengan cepat. Faktor kedua adalah motor fan yang rusak, kerusakan di motor fan belum tentu motor fannya mati total, terkadang kipasnya masih berjalan tetapi sudah pelan, sehingga angin yang didorong kurang kencang. Pastikan sistem pendingin dicek tuntas sebelum berpergian dan jika mobil Sahabat masih memakai air biasa untuk mendinginkan maka ganti segera dengan coolant sebelum hal ini dapat menyusahkan Sahabat di jalan.

6. Tune Up

Salah satu rangkaian dari perawatan mobil adalah Tune up. Untuk mobil modern lebih ke proses pembersihan sistem pembakaran mobil Sahabat baik diesel maupun bensin keduanya membutuhkan tune up secara berkala, tune up dapat mengembalikan tenaga mesin yang hilang karena pembakaran yang tidak efisien, menghilangkan mengelitik pada mesin bensin, dan mengurangi asap hitam pada mesin diesel. Sehingga ketika berpergian jauh konsumsi bbm mobil Sahabat tidak berlebihan.

7. Busi

Saat perawatan mobil dilakukan, busi di mesin bensin harus dicek dan diganti ketika sudah tidak layak pakai.

8. Filter udara dan filter bensin/solar

Saat melakukan perawatan mobil, sebaiknya semua filter diganti (bila perlu) untuk memastikan perjalanan jauh yang mulus.

9. Aki/accu

Aki sebaiknya diperiksa ke bengkel yang memiliki battrey tester, karena hanya dengan battery tester kita dapat mendapatkan persentase battrey life yang akurat, sebaiknya untuk perjalanan jauh aki dibawah 50% diganti dengan yang baru.

10. Air Conditioning /AC

Ketika melakukan perawatan mobil, pengecekkan bagian AC menjadi penting karena AC merupakan kebutuhan pokok pengendara, ketika terjebak kemacetan Sahabat dan keluarga tidak mau ikut kepanasan. Pada dasarnya AC mobil harus di cek oleh bengkel yang berpengalaman. AC mobil harus dingin maksimal dan tekanan freon harus normal, hembusan angin blower juga maximal dan tidak memiliki bau. Freon harus R134a (untuk mobil baru) murni dan tidak terkontaminasi karena dapat berbahaya bagi kesehatan. Filter AC harus bersih bebas debu dan jamur. Evaporator juga perlu dibersihkan untuk mendapatkan dingin yang maksimal.

Melakukan perawatan mobil di bengkel juga tidak bisa sembarangan Sahabat. Untuk itu Sahabat perlu lebih teliti sebelum mempercayai perawatan mobil Sahabat ke bengkel yang hendak dipilih.

Three Electric S.U.V.s With Tesla in Their Sights An electric trickle is turning into a flood: As many as 100 new E.V. models are coming to showrooms by 2025. Heavyweights including Volkswagen, General Motors and Ford are floating promises of all-electric lineups within a decade. The end times of gasoline can almost seem a fait accompli, except for one pesky issue: Even given Tesla’s strides, we’re still waiting for the first genuine E.V. sales hit, let alone a mass exodus from unleaded. In 2014, Nissan sold a mere 30,200 Leafs, and that’s still the American record for any non-Tesla model. Ford routinely sells more than 800,000 F-Series pickups. A single gasoline sport utility vehicle, the Toyota RAV4, finds well over 400,000 annual buyers, compared with roughly 250,000 sales last year for all E.V.s combined — 200,000 of which were Teslas. Automakers insist we’re “this close” to a tipping point. E.V. market share is expected to grow to as much as 50 percent by 2032, from just 1.7 percent last year, said Scott Keogh, president and chief executive of Volkswagen of America. While Tesla captured 80 percent of the U.S. market for electric vehicles in 2020, VW and other global giants — with war chests built on internal-combustion engines and unmatched scale and manufacturing know-how — are well positioned to take a piece of Tesla’s pie. “There’s never been a competitive consumer product that sits at 80 percent market share” for long, Mr. Keogh said. Globally, Volkswagen is poised to pass Tesla as the world’s biggest electric vehicle seller as early as next year, according to Deutsche Bank, with Europe and China its key markets. In America, where the brand remains an underdog, VW and other legacy automakers are concentrating fire on the sales fortress of compact S.U.V.s: Models like the RAV4, which deliver roughly four million annual segment sales. The idea, as ever, is to drive down prices and charging times of E.V.s, while bolstering driving range, until consumers see no reason to stick with polluting gasoline models whose energy-and-operating costs exceed the plug-in alternatives. Like the Rolling Stones pushing the Beatles, Mr. Keogh said, healthy competition will ultimately benefit all E.V. fans and creators. And when consumers sees E.V.s proliferate in their neighbors’ driveways, and take their first test drive, there will be no going back. “When you drive one, you’re driving the future, and that’s what people are going to want, no debate,” Mr. Keogh said. The latest electric-S.U.V. hopefuls to reach showrooms are the VW ID.4, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Volvo XC40 Recharge. The Nissan Ariya, BMW iX and Cadillac Lyriq are set to arrive between late 2021 and next March. I drove the VW, Ford and Volvo to see which might knock Tesla’s Model Y S.U.V. down a peg — or at least outsell the 2014 Leaf. Ford Mustang Mach-E Ford has branded its fabled Mustang name on an electric S.U.V., inflaming some boomers in the process. But the Mach-E seems the most straight-up rival yet to Tesla’s Model Y, in not only price and performance but also the Ford’s maximum 300-mile driving range. Consumers have noticed: Ford sold 3,729 Mach-Es in February, the first full month of sales, almost single-handedly chopping Tesla’s dominant E.V. share to 69 percent, from 80 percent. If Ford could maintain that pace for a full year, the Mach-E would easily set a sales record for an E.V. not built by Tesla. Tesla’s 326-mile Model Y Long Range still squeezes a few more miles from each onboard kilowatt-hour, owing to the carmaker’s expertise in aerodynamics, motor and battery efficiency, and to “simple” stuff that’s anything but: Its 4,416-pound curb weight undercuts the Ford by about 400 pounds. And Tesla rules the public charging space, with its Supercharger network that has rivals — now with a potential infrastructure lift from the Biden administration — racing to catch up. The Ford fires back with a sculpted exterior versus the dad-bod Model Y, a tech-savvy interior with superior materials and craftsmanship, and winning performance of its own. With 346 horsepower from dual motors, the Mach-E Premium A.W.D. that I drove shot to 60 miles an hour in 4.8 seconds. Even the new Shelby GT500 — history’s mightiest Mustang, with 760 horsepower — won’t equal the 3.5-second 0-to-60 m.p.h. blast of this summer’s Mach-E GT Performance version. The Shelby would shame the Mach-E or Tesla on any winding road, of course. Yet the Mach-E is reasonably fun through the curvy stuff, and glides with addictive thrust and confidence. A cinema-scale, 15.5-inch touch screen sneaks past the Tesla’s 15-inch unit. Like other E.V.s, the Ford broadcasts its presence below 20 m.p.h., a throat-clearing hum to alert pedestrians. Inside, in its driver-selectable “Whisper” mode, the Ford would please the most persnickety librarian. Dial up “Unbridled” mode and the Mach-E trades glorious silence for an overwrought, faux-engine sound: Think a V-8, remixed by Kraftwerk. The soundtrack is apparently for people who need to be weaned off gasoline’s combustive beat, but it can be shut off with a screen switch. E.V. shoppers can whistle over the Ford’s price, as little as $36,495, or $48,300 for the extended-range A.W.D. model. Those prices include a $7,500 federal tax credit that’s denied to buyers of Tesla (or General Motors) E.V.s, because those automakers have sold too many to qualify. So despite Tesla’s major, defensive price cuts for 2021, the most-affordable, 230-mile-range Mach-E undercuts Tesla’s 244-mile Standard Range by $6,700. A Mach-E Premium A.W.D. saves $2,900 versus a Model Y Long Range. In a surprisingly taut, compelling matchup with the Tesla, credit the government for what may be the Ford’s most alluring advantage: a $7,500 discount. Volkswagen ID.4 No, Volkswagen is not changing its name to Voltswagen, as the company briefly convinced some media and car fans in a marketing stunt gone bad. Regarding historic names, VW calls the ID.4 its most significant model since the original Beetle. But where the Beetle was a revolutionary leader, the ID.4 feels like a follower. Based on my drive, the VW can easily top its 250-mile range rating, with 275 miles within reach. A rear-drive, 201-horsepower model rolls to 60 m.p.h. in 7.6 seconds. That’s on a par with gasoline sport utilities like the Honda CR-V, but pokey by E.V. standards. Dual-motor, all-wheel-drive models arrive later this year, promising 60 m.p.h. in under six seconds. From a company famed for fun-to-drive German cars, the ID.4’s generic performance and styling are letdowns. Its infotainment system is even more disappointing: The clunky, vexing touch screen can’t touch the onscreen wizardry of the Ford, Volvo or Tesla. The VW’s snappiest performance came during a fast-charging session at a Target in New Jersey, replenishing its 77 kilowatt-hour battery from 20 to 80 percent in an impressive 31 minutes. That growing network of Electrify America chargers is funded by VW’s $2 billion, court-ordered penance for its diesel emissions scandal. And VW is offering indulgences to ID.4 buyers, with three years of free public charging. Thrifty virtues include a $41,190 base price, or $33,690 after the $7,500 federal tax break. That’s $2,800 less than the most-affordable Mach-E. It’s also less money, after credits, than a smaller Chevrolet Bolt. The more powerful ID.4 with all-wheel drive will start at $37,370, postcredit. Still, as Tesla’s triumph and Chevy’s lukewarm Bolt have proved, there’s more to electric success than an attractive price. VW is aggressively investing $80 billion to develop E.V.s, but the ID.4 feels less like a market splash and more like a toe in the water. We’ll see if VW erred by not kicking off with a recognizable design that truly connects its nostalgic, weed-hazed past to today’s green virtues: the electric ID.Buzz Microbus, due in 2023. Volvo XC40 Recharge Volvo seems such a natural fit for E.V.s. And the progressive-minded brand brings us the XC40 Recharge, an electrified take on its gasoline XC40. The Recharge is like that perfect dining table in a shelter magazine: You’re not sure why it costs so much, but you want it anyway. The Recharge’s wedgy Scandinavian styling tops every S.U.V. in this group, as does its lovely interior. That includes soft Nappa leather, versus the ascetic “vegan” materials of many E.V.s. The drive is similarly breezy, with 402 horses and a quicksilver, 4.7-second flight to 60 m.p.h. The biggest tech talking point may be Android Automotive OS: The Recharge (and Volvo’s electric Polestar 2) introduces a cloud-based Google operating system that works like a dream, with Google Maps, search, an ultra-capable voice assistant and more. (Don’t confuse this with the ubiquitous Android Auto, which simply mirrors phone apps on a car’s screen.) Several major automakers, including G.M. and Ford, plan to make Android Automotive the nerve centers of coming cars. If only the Volvo itself were as efficient. The Recharge is an electron guzzler, with a 208-mile range that seems optimistic in real-world use. I drove the Recharge in frigid New York weather, which explained some but not all of its hunger for power: No matter how I babied the throttle, the Volvo stayed on a pace for 190 miles, at best, covering about 2.4 miles for each kilowatt-hour in the batteries. I can achieve 3.6 miles per kilowatt-hour with little effort in the Tesla Model Y and above 3.2 in the Ford. Environmental Protection Agency numbers bear that out: Despite having virtually the same-size battery, the Tesla brings 326 miles of maximum range, 118 more than the Volvo. The Recharge is also expensive for its intimate size: $54,985 to start, and nearly $60,000 for the model I drove. That $7,500 federal tax break softens the blow. Yet if the Volvo indulges bourgeois buyers, they’ll also need to indulge its profligate ways. Source link Orbem News #Electric #Sights #SUVs #Tesla

With 9M CR-Vs sold globally, Honda debuts its CR-V Hybrid

The Honda CR-V has an incredible record of global sales. More than 9 million CR-Vs have been sold worldwide in 150 countries since ’95. In the USA, a total of 384,168 CR-Vs were sold in 2019 alone (wheelsjoint.com). In the SUV market, it ranks second only to the Toyota RAV4.

By John Coulter, CURRENT EV CMO

Launched in Japan in 1995, the CR-V became one of the pioneer models of what has become the highly popular Compact SUV segment. It quickly established itself as a favorite with customers looking for a sturdy, reliable vehicle with low maintenance costs.

The core of the vehicle’s popularity is its combination of efficiency, functionality, simple style, safety and legendary Honda quality. The average estimate for repair bills for the first and second years is $0! The average maintenance cost for the first year of driving is $190.

Depreciation is minimal as well, accounting for only 10.582% its first year and 8.88% its second year.

The 2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid crossover retains the same basic design and features as its 2020 predecessor. Few changes have been implemented, as 2020 was the year when the CR-V received its 4th Generation makeover and the hybrid version debuted. The 2021 hybrid uses a 2.0L 4-cylinder Atkinson Cycle engine mated with 2 electric motors and a small 1.4kWh battery. Together, they generate 212hp and 232 lb-ft of torque, and provide what is considered the best engine performance in its segment.

With a 0 to 60 sprint of 7.5 seconds, it is not what any reviewer would call a fast car. But what its drivers like is its linear power delivery; it has no gears to shift, making the drive incredibly smooth. And the vehicle’s torque output of 232 lb-ft with its gas engine and two electric motors working bests the Ford Escape Hybrid and the Toyota RAV 4 Hybrid, its two closest competitors. Rather than a super fast family hauler, it’s a comfy city cruiser which gets you where you want to go, smoothly, safely and inexpensively.

Fuel Economy is excellent. The EPA estimates the 2021 CR-V will provide you with 40mpg city, 35mpg highway and 38 combined. The hybrid’s total range is 440 miles.

Tesla's long-awaited Model Y electric SUV arrives next year, but you'll have to wait for the $39,000 version

New Post has been published on https://nexcraft.co/teslas-long-awaited-model-y-electric-suv-arrives-next-year-but-youll-have-to-wait-for-the-39000-version/

Tesla's long-awaited Model Y electric SUV arrives next year, but you'll have to wait for the $39,000 version

We first heard about the Tesla Model Y all the way back in 2015, when Elon Musk tweeted (and then deleted) a cryptic teaser for an all-electric SUV that would be much cheaper than the luxury-oriented Model X. Last night, at an event in Los Angeles, Musk took the stage to officially reveal the Model Y, which will start rolling out to customers in 2020. Here’s what you need to know about the electric vehicle that’s probably going to sell faster than a novelty flame thrower.

It’s a lot like a Model 3

Despite the Model Y’s crossover SUV-style design, the vehicle shares roughly 75 percent of its parts with the Model 3. Sadly, that means your new affordable electric crossover vehicle won’t get those fancy falcon wing doors found on the higher-end Model X. The Model Y checks in roughly 10 percent bigger than the model 3 sedan, which is already the best-selling electric vehicle on the market, and that extra room allows it to have three rows of seats and can fit up to seven people at once.

The heavy overlap between the Model 3 and its new SUV sibling makes sense since the process of getting the 3 into manufacturing nearly broke the company and its impulsively tweeting CEO. The Model 3 lessons were hard-learned for the company, so applying them in a new vehicle will hopefully help avoid long delays and possible quality control issues as they roll out of the factory.

There are four different versions

Here’s a rundown of the upcoming Model Y options.

The ** Dual Motor AWD Performance** configuration is the most expensive at $60,000. It will have a 280-mile maximum range and go from 0-60 mph in roughly 3.5 seconds. However, those two things are mutually exclusive depending on your driving style since fast acceleration and long battery life do not mix. It arrives in Fall 2020.

The Dual Motor AWD Long Range model will cost $51,000 and will also arrive in Fall 2020. It promises the same 280 mile range, and though the 0-60 mph time drops to 4.8 seconds (which is still plenty fast), you get the benefit of all-wheel drive.

The rear-wheel drive Long Range version is the last model we’ll see in Fall 2020 (assuming no delays) and will eclipse the 300 mile range mark for $47,000.

Like with the Model 3, the cheapest Standard Range option is slated last for release. Starting in Spring 2021, the Standard Range Model Y will do 230 miles on a charge with a sticker price of $39,000. Even at this entry-level, it will still do 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 120 mph.

Tesla will probably sell a lot of them

The sales charts for SUVs and crossover vehicles has steadily increased over the past decade thanks to cheaper gas prices and improving fuel efficiency as well as an ever-increasing need for kids to get to soccer practice. Last year, the top three vehicles sold in the U.S. were, of course, pickup trucks, but the three after that were the Toyota Rav-4, Nissan Rogue, and Honda CR-V, respectively. At the same time, Tesla sold roughly 111,000 of its Model 3 sedans, which would make it the best-selling “luxury” vehicle in the U.S. market.

The model Y takes both of those trends and smashes them together in a conglomeration of metal, rubber, and big 15-inch screens in the cockpit.

It will have some competition

Just a few weeks ago, Volvo announced the Polestar 2, which promises to break the 300 mile-per-charge barrier and improve upon its predecessor for a price comparable to the Model Y’s higher-end versions. There are other competitors up the food chain as well, like Jaguar with its i-Pace electric SUV and even upstart companies like Rivian, which is promising an SUV-style body for its modular EV drivetrain setup.

How to buy it

If you’re already set on buying a Model Y, you can pre-order one by coughing up a $2,500 downpayment. Collecting deposits to fund manufacturing is a trademark Elon Musk move. And while the overlap between the Model 3 and Model Y production processes should help avoid delays, the bad taste from the long wait for the Model 3 may linger a little too much for some buyers.
