The Tesla Model Y is a crossover SUV that will share 75 percent of its parts with the Model 3, which is currently Tesla's cheapest car. It will be Tesla's fifth car design since it was founded in 2003. 

We know little about the Model Y at this point. Tesla released a black and white promo image in June 2017.

Earlier this year we heard rumblings a reveal was closer than previously anticipated. Previously Musk has stated the car would be on the market by 2020 and would herald a "manufacturing revolution".

As for pricing, Musk says the car is about 10 percent bigger than the Model 3, so will cost roughly 10 percent more.

Elon Musk also announced that Tesla's first v3.0 Supercharger station is going live this coming Wednesday. Previously Musk has stated the new version of the Supercharger would be able to charge at a rate of 350kW.

It's been a busy couple of weeks for Tesla. February 28, just three days ago, it announced the $35,000 Tesla Model 3 was available to order online, and that it would be ceasing all retail sales of its vehicles. Apparently this would help keep the price of the Model 3 (and presumably now the Model Y) at an affordable price.
