Tesla cars have been extremely popular ever since the first one was revealed to the public and Hollywood celebrities haven’t been immune to their charm. Now they finally have a chance to see and buy a new model, called Model Y. Built on the same platform as Model S, the new Tesla is marketed as a crossover coupe. It will reach zero to 60 in 3.5 seconds and will have an autonomy of 300 miles on a single charge. It won’t come cheap, though. The base version is selling for $39,000, while Long Range model will set you back $47,000. Finally, the Performance trim will cost $60,000. This is, of course, petty change to A-listers from Hollywood and we expect that many of those who already own one Tesla will splurge for a new model as well.
9.Steve Wozniak
Owns: Model X
The power behind the throne in Apple and man in charge of many of its products, despite what Steve Jobs’ fans are saying, Steve Wozniak is one of the icons of the IT industry. He helped establish many of the technologies we take for granted today and is rightfully considered one of the founding fathers of the digital revolution. Surprisingly, Wozniak had a lot of criticism for Elon Musk and Tesla’s business model, but he had never hidden his love of their cars, that is he was among the first one to buy Tesla X. We are sure he will do the same with Tesla Y.
8.Jeremy Renner
Owns: Model S
Not only Jeremy Renner is a movie star, but he also owns a home renovation business with his friends and fellow actor Kristoffer Winters. The star of Avengers franchise and Mission impossible, Renner came close to winning an Oscar for his performance in the Town in 2010. He is also a proud owner of Tesla S.
7.Mark Ruffalo
Owns: Model S
Avengers seems to have a soft spot for Tesla S and Mark Ruffalo, AKA Hulk, also has one, just like his colleague from the Marvel franchise Jeremy Renner. Self-described social activist, Ruffalo is one of the most vocal supporters of electric vehicles.
6.Matt Damon
Owns: Tesla Roadster
Just when we thought Matt Damon was safe at his home after the ending of Saving Private Ryan, he went and got stranded himself on Mars and we had to go out and rescue him again. He decided to return the favor and do something nice for the planet and bought a Tesla Roadster. We have no doubt that he will get a Tesla Y as well. That the least he can do to thanks us.
5.Cameron Diaz
Owns: Model S
Cameron Diaz is one of the most successful actresses in Hollywood. Her movies grossed over $6 billion during her career. Despite having all that money, she is known for her frugal lifestyle. Before getting a Model S, she drove around in a Toyota Prius.
4.Ben Affleck
Owns: Model S
You know you have made a good car when even Batman owns one. Joking aside, Ben Affleck is a known activist who is very vocal about the protection of the environment. The two-time Oscar winner has done more than his share in trying to get people to pay attention to global climate change and driving a Model S is just one of those things. We can easily see him behind the wheel of Model Y.
3.Jay Z
Owns: Model S
Beyoncé is known for being generous with her husband and once bought him a Bugatti Veyron, which she paid $2.4 million. After that, paying for a Tesla S must have seemed like chump change. Jay Z could have easily afforded to buy bought cars for himself, being a successful artist and producer, but it is still nice to receive a gift, even if you are obscenely rich.
2.Steven Spielberg
Owns: Model S
Steven Spielberg is one of the richest persons in Hollywood and certainly doesn’t have to worry about gas savings his Tesla Model S is providing for him. It is nice, though, that he is doing something to help prevent the consequences of global warming. Spielberg had his Model S for the last four years and he might take an opportunity to trade it in for a new Model Y.
1. Jaden Smith
Owns: Model X
Jaden Smith is well-known for his insistence to pay his way and don’t beg his rich parents for money. He has earned a lot from his modeling and acting career and is starting a bottled water business called “Just Water”. Jaden was very proud to buy Model X from with his own money.
