Driven: The Tesla Model Y Standard Brings the Price Down—Along with the Content
Tesla’s Model Y Standard offers a $5,000 price cut with simpler design and fewer features to better compete in Europe’s growing electric vehicle market, Tesla said.
- Tesla introduced the Model Y Standard in Europe at about 36,500 post-tariff from a $39,990 base, offering a 514-kilometre range and rear-wheel drive. Deliveries are planned for Q4 2025 in France, Germany, and the UK.
- Amid a flood of affordable Chinese imports, Tesla released cheaper Standard variants to target budget-conscious buyers as BYD aims for 800,000 global sales next year.
- The Model Y Standard sheds features, with smaller rims, simplified bumpers, LED lighting, seven speakers instead of 15, no FM radio, and reduced charging power from 250 kilowatts to 225 kilowatts, while hiding the glass roof panel inside a cheaper ceiling finish.
- The new trims cut prices by $5,000 and $5,500, making the Model Y Standard one of Tesla's cheapest new models, though rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 undercut it by thousands.
- Analysts say the market is crowded with over a dozen new EV models expected by 2026, and cheaper rivals like Dacia Spring and BYD mean sub-$40,000 pricing may not secure dominance.
