STAGE:BMW 5 seriesElon Musk has called the crossover Tesla’s most important vehicle and said it eventually could outsell all other models combined. Sales got off to a strong start this year, despite the pandemic, according to Tesla data. Third-party analysts have praised the Model Y for a number of innovations they say make it the most advanced EV on the market, including its heating and cooling system.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Mike Manley sparked further speculation in 2019 when he said the Ram team was "focused on solving a metric ton midsize-truck solution for us because it's a big part of the portfolio and growth we want to achieve."
