Review: Tesla’s cheapest Model Y cuts the price by £7k – but is it worth it?
The pared-back EV cuts about £7,000 from the Premium model while keeping Tesla app connectivity, basic Autopilot and 314 WLTP miles of range.
- Tesla has launched the Standard Model in the UK, offering a more accessible version after nearly five years of the vehicle being available on the market.
- To reduce costs, the Standard Model features a smaller traction battery, delivering 314 WLTP miles of range while removing amenities like the panoramic roof and rear heated seats.
- The vehicle retains the minimalist interior with dual wireless phone chargers and space in the "frunk," while delivering 0-60mph acceleration in 6.9 seconds despite the pared-back spec.
- Buyers save around £7,000 compared to the Premium version, though Tesla suggests the Premium remains the better choice for most; monthly PCP payments make the Standard more accessible.
- Access to Tesla's Supercharger network and app remains a core selling point, positioning the Standard Model as a practical option that maintains the brand's appeal despite reduced specifications.
