From Bearded Tesla Guy.
Tesla unexpectedly released a brand new Model Y Trim available in North America. The Tesla Model Y lineup has had a number of shakeups since its launch back in 2020, and of all the changes we have seen, the lowest trim offering has been impacted the most.
Tesla originally launched the Model Y with only the LR AWD and the Performance delivering to customers. The originally planned Model Y SR RWD never ended up delivering before reportedly being cancelled. But then Tesla released the so called Standard Range Model Y in a RWD configuration that came in at $41,990.
This new RWD SR Model Y came in with 244 miles of range, RWD, but otherwise, included all the same features of the premium interior found on the Model Y LR AWD and the Performance. The price subsequently dropped to $39,990 before going back up and all the way to $43,990 before being cancelled all together.
After starting operations in Giga Texas, Tesla released a brand new Tesla Model Y, which some referred to as the Standard Range Model Y. The Model Y SR, or really the Model Y AWD, came in at 279 miles of range, AWD, same interior as the LR and P, but featured the brand new 4680 battery cells.
This model has been available to order for about a year, but was unexpectedly removed from the order configurator just recently. You can no longer order or receive the Model Y AWD. Now, it appears seeing the production line start spitting out Model Y’s at Giga Texas once again, these would seem to be the new Model Y RWD.
This new option would seem to feature the same LFP battery pack found in the Model 3 RWD, at least based on the limited documentation available on the EPA repository. The EPA certifications list a Model Y RWD as having the same 350 Volt architecture and 174 Energy density, leading to the same battery pack, at least on paper.
So we should get a glimpse at this significantly cheaper Model Y any time now as customer orders begin this month. Until we see for sure, we can only assume that this will be a strong selling Tesla Model Y trim.
