Orders have ended for the Standard Range.
And that s that. Tesla is no longer offering the cheapest Model Y trim only a month after it launched. The Tesla Model Y Standard Range RWD has been removed from the automaker s online configurator. With an EPA-estimated range of 244 miles and a starting price tag of $41,990, the Standard Range RWD could have been a relatively affordable way for many to enter the world of Tesla ownership.
Those still keen to do so will now have to pony up at least $48,990 for the Model Y Long Range AWD, though that variant just received a $1,000 price cut. Perhaps that was a way to help compensate for the base trim s loss. Because Tesla disbanded its PR department, there is no way to confirm whether this is a permanent or temporary change.
