Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter to gin up excitement for his plan to debut the Model Y electric crossover at the company's Design Center in Los Angeles on March 14, 2019. AFP/Getty ImagesTesla will soon give the world a look at its next major product as billionaire CEO Elon Musk said the company plans to show off the electric Model Y crossover at an event in Los Angeles later this month. “Model Y, being an SUV, is about 10% bigger than Model 3, so will cost about 10% more & have slightly less range for the same battery,” he tweeted. While only about 30% of X was common with Tesla’s Model S, Musk said on the call, about 76% of Model Y will be common with Model 3. Musk’s Model Y twitter spree comes a day after SpaceX successfully launched and docked an unmanned Crew Dragon capsule at the International Space Station over the weekend, in preparation to soon begin ferrying human astronauts for NASA in addition to cargo.
