As Electrek notes, Tesla’s original lineup when it revealed the vehicle in 2019 included a standard range rear-wheel-drive version, but company chief Elon Musk later announced a year after that any plan to make one was canceled because its range would be unacceptably low. But you can now order a more affordable Model Y.
If you go on Tesla’s website, you’ll now be able to purchase a standard range rear-wheel-drive Model Y for at least $42,000 or $40,500 if you’re in California. The standard rear-wheel drive’s range is short, at 244 miles, of course, though, it’s still longer than Tesla’s 230-mile projected range.
Two weeks from now, Tesla expects deliveries for the vehicle to begin, so long it’s available in your region. It already available in the US, Canada, and Mexico, but it’s still not available for purchase in Asia and most of Tesla’s European markets.
The company has also begun to receive orders for seven-seater Model Ys but you’ll have to pay a sum of $3000 for the interior upgrade. The upgrade comes with third-row seating for two with USB-C charging and a sliding second-row with adjustable backs.
