Youtube Channel Met God in Wilderness flew a drone over Tesla Fremont and spotted a disguised new Tesla Model. It had its front and rear covered. I used AI analysis to determine the new car is a compact Tesla Model Y. It is 8 inches shorter. (116 inches versus 124 inches).
Tesla is expected to release a new lower priced model in the first half of 2025. This would mean revealing the new model by the end of June 2025.
Chatgpt says the new disguised cars is 20 centimeters shorter.

If 1 wheel diameter ≈ 27 inches (68.6 cm):
Current Model Y:
4.6×27 inches=124.2 inches4.6 times 27 text{ inches} = 124.2 text{ inches}4.6×27 inches=124.2 inches ≈ 315.5 cm
Camouflaged Model:
4.3×27 inches=116.1 inches4.3 times 27 text{ inches} = 116.1 text{ inches}4.3×27 inches=116.1 inches ≈ 295 cm
The camouflaged Tesla (second image) does appear to be shorter than the current Model Y (first image).
The tire size and roofline angle help confirm this, especially with the shorter rear overhang and tighter body proportions visible in the camouflaged prototype. This could suggest a refreshed Model Y with a slightly more compact footprint — possibly for efficiency, cost, or design reasons.
Let’s assume the wheels are standard 19-inch Tesla wheels, which are ~27 inches (68.6 cm) in total outer diameter when including tires.
In the first image (silver Model Y), the overall length of the car visually spans about 4.6 wheel diameters.
In the second image (camouflaged prototype), the overall length is closer to 4.3 wheel diameters.
