Tesla has finally started delivering the new Model Y in the US. The automaker handed over the first units to the elated owners at its factories in Texas and Fremont.
Company officials turned up to celebrate, posing for photos in front of the new vehicles, including head of design Franz von Holzhausen. Tesla’s official X handle marked the milestone in its local market with a post saying, “Celebrating first deliveries of the new Model Y at Giga Texas and Fremont Factory.”
Tesla started fulfilling the refreshed Model Y orders in Germany earlier in the week. However, according to the company’s post on X, Giga Berlin workers could have snapped up the first units.
The updated Model Y was first revealed in China in January, with deliveries of the Launch Edition starting in late February ahead of schedule. Tesla is now selling the regular version in the world’s largest auto market at the same price but without incentives like an additional two-year or 40,000 km extended warranty.
