Tesla plans to launch its first mass-market car, the Model 3, by the end of 2017. But Tesla also has another important vehicle in the works.

In July, Musk confirmed that Tesla plans to bring a new compact SUV to market. This vehicle will be the crossover version of the Model 3 and will be called the Model Y.

Tesla has not yet revealed a timeline for the vehicle, but considering a number of other major automakers are planning to roll out electric SUVs by 2020, it's possible Tesla could have a similar timeline.

Musk has kept mum on details pertaining to the upcoming SUV, but he has talked generally about features coming to future Tesla vehicles and has talked a lot about the Model Y's sister vehicle, the Model 3.

Based on his comments, we pulled together a list of some of the features we'll likely see in Tesla's Model Y.
