The American automaker and energy company Tesla had a field year in 2023 – they launched the international version of the Tesla Model 3 sedan, conquered the world with the Model Y crossover, and finally introduced the eagerly awaited Cybertruck at home.
They are basically attacking the legacy automakers from all directions, save one. With the Tesla Model 3 'Highland' – which early this year also launched at home in America – they are offering a modern EV with many flaws that bewildered people well taken care of. Sure, not everything is perfect, but the company strives to give us more things to love rather than hate.
The story of the Tesla Model Y near-premium mid-size crossover SUV is one for the ages – and it could easily get adapted for a Hollywood blockbuster. 2023 was its year of make-it-or-break-it, by the way. At home in the United States, it was 'only' the fifth best-selling nameplate with an estimate of around 386k units, but that was mainly because the Ford F-Series, Chevy Silverado, Ram Trucks, and Toyota's RAV4 are still a bit hard to beat. But it will be an overkill when Tesla gives the Model Y the same range of upgrades as the Model 3.
Also, all around the world, it is shaping up as the worldwide best-selling vehicle – in Europe, it's clearly number one, and according to the most recent estimates, it also dethroned the Toyota RAV4 compact crossover SUV across the automotive industry with 1.23 million deliveries last year! That's quite impressive, right? As for Cybertruck, that one is a regional hero, at most – and it will severely impact the EV pickup truck market in America rather than the world at large.
Anyway, we said earlier that Tesla is basically attacking all old-school OEMs from all angles, bar one – the cheap and compact Tesla EV. That's another one of Musk's bedtime stories, but the problem is that all the other ones have come true – including the hype surrounding the Cybertruck pickup and the Model Y becoming the world's best-selling nameplate. As such, we had better prepare ourselves for the arrival of a smaller and even more affordable Tesla.
According to the imaginative realm of digital car content creators and the rumor mill, that may happen as soon as next year as it turns out. But while most rumors about the cheap '$25k' Tesla speak about a smaller Model 3 sedan, this time around, the parallel universes of vehicular CGI have tried their magic on a nimbler and more affordable Model Y crossover SUV sibling.
More precisely, Vince Burlapp (aka vburlapp on social media or burlappcar.com) is a prolific virtual artist who loves to dream of all the latest models across the wide-ranging automotive realm – and the pixel master recently cooked up an unofficial Tesla compact crossover SUV that looks exactly like an updated and nimbler Tesla Model Y CUV. Obviously, he is tying into the 'Redwood' rumors – and do we like that or not?
