Gravity is debuting a new fleet of Tesla Model Y yellow taxis in New York City in the latest expansion of its fully electric taxi fleet.
The new Model Y yellow cabs will add to Gravity's existing fleet comprised of Ford Mustang Mach-E crossovers, active since December 2021. Both models are authorized for use as taxis under an EV pilot program adopted by NYC's Taxi and Limousine Commission earlier this year.
The EV fleet and infrastructure startup says its Tesla Model Ys are the first-ever to be commissioned as yellow taxis. Mind you, Revel already operates Model Ys in NYC, but those are livery cabs. While several Tesla Model 3 sedans have recently entered service as NYC yellow taxis, Gravity's Model Y is better suited for the job as it offers more luggage space and room for passengers in the cabin.
