Tesla Model 3 vs Model Y, SR vs LR - Which One Should You Buy?

• If you want to purchase a Tesla immediately, the 3 is the better choice due to immediate availability and US federal tax incentives. 
• The Y will arrive in 18 to 24 months, and longer for international sales.

Tesla’s obsession with simplistic futuristic design is perhaps best captured in almost terrifyingly similar stature of its two most important cars - the Tesla Model 3 and the recently revealed Tesla Model Y. Unraveled secrets of the new mid-size electric crossover led the world almost unanimously settle on the fact that the new Model Y is essentially an ideal conjugation between the reasonable Model 3 and the lush Model X.

Completely devoid of any chrome decorations, but garnished with subtle dark plastic protection surfaces on the fenders, bumpers, and skirts, the Tesla Model Y tries to demonstrate its utilitarian qualities. Yet, without clear visual distinction against the Model 3 it is based on, it is hard to imagine it to be an all-new crossover. It is more like a special version of the Model 3. An almost perfect analogy to describe the relation of the Model 3 and the Model Y is to compare it with the BMW 3 Series Sedan and the pseudo-MPV that is the BMW 3 Series GT badge.
