Tesla<\/strong> has introduced its affordable electric SUV<\/strong>, the Model Y Standard<\/strong>. The new version, which stands out with its $39,990<\/strong> price tag, makes the Tesla experience more accessible by forgoing many features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tesla has officially launched the highly anticipated, more affordable version of the Model Y. The new version, called the Tesla<\/a><\/em> Model Y Standard<\/strong>, has become the brand’s cheapest electric SUV<\/strong> in the North American market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The starting price of the new Model Y Standard<\/strong> has been announced as $39,990<\/strong>. This means it is $5,000 cheaper<\/strong> than the current Model Y’s entry price of $44,990. However, considering the features that have been removed, one might say this price difference is minimal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Model Y Standard<\/strong> features a simpler design at the front. Instead of a full-width LED strip, it uses slimmer headlights, and the Matrix LED<\/strong> technology has been removed. A redesigned bumper accompanies this simplification. On the side, a new 18-inch wheel<\/strong> design stands out, which is said to increase aerodynamic efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vehicle is offered in three different body colors. Gray is available at no extra cost, while an additional $1,000 is charged for white and $1,500 for black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\ude91 Significant Interior Limitations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new Tesla Model Y Standard<\/strong> also comes with some simplifications in the interior. This version does not include a HEPA filter<\/strong>. The upholstery uses a combination of fabric and vegan leather. The mirrors and seats are manually adjustable, and since laminated glass<\/strong> is not used in the front windows, the sound insulation<\/strong> is also weaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd0a Audio System and Equipment Differences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Model Y Standard<\/strong> features a 7-speaker sound system<\/strong> (with no subwoofer). In higher trims, this number increases to 15 speakers. The center console has two cup holders instead of deep storage compartments. The ambient lighting<\/strong> feature has been removed, a rear passenger screen<\/strong> is not offered, and the front trunk volume is also smaller. The glass roof is still present in this version, but its interior is covered with a fabric material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reduce costs, Tesla has simplified not only the hardware but also the software in this version. Some driver-assistance features, including basic Autopilot<\/strong>, are not available on this model. Finally, the FM\/AM radio is also among the removed features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking at the technical side, the vehicle continues with a thermal management system that includes a heat pump<\/strong>. With a 69 kWh battery<\/strong>, it aims for a driving range<\/strong> of up to 516 kilometers<\/strong> according to EPA measurements in the US. The model, which completes 0-100 km\/h acceleration<\/strong> in 6.8 seconds<\/strong>, is targeted to gain around 257 kilometers of range with a 15-minute charge, thanks to its up to 225 kW DC charging<\/strong> support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
