Model Y and AP rumors

Not sure about the source of this but posting for discussion purposes. The Tesla radar I believe, I’m curious for those of us who bought FSD, if there are added cameras, where would they be?

Tesla Model Y Rumormill Reignites: $40,000 Base, AWD Standard + More

Model Y sales will go through the roof. However, there's no way base cost will be even in the hemisphere of $35k-$40k. MCU may be updated but level 4 autonomous at launch is next to impossible when there are still issues with level 2. Just wondering with the SUV craze and the slow death of the car, how much it cannibalize the sales of the Model 3.

Remember, the SUV craze you speak of is purely an American phenomenon. The rest of the world is still very much a small car/sedan type of market. I think when the Model 3 hits the global market its appeal will be tremendous.

No you're generally still correct. Those other markets referenced, Europe aside, are much larger than North America, so a raw numbers to numbers comparison is irrelevant. Sedans rule in Asia, it's not remotely close.
