It’s not exactly cheap yet, but $ 3,000 is $ 3,000.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk was full of Model and News to share last weekend. We not only learned the Model Y standard range is dead even before it existed, but the Tesla boss also noted that the Model Y Long Range received a price cut.
We have lowered the prices of the dual model Y LR engine and will offer a single LR Y engine in a few months, which improves affordability while maintaining excellent product.

Said price reduction reached the sum of $ 3,000, which is not too bad. Now, the Tesla site shows that the long-range Y model starts at $ 49,990 before any savings and taxes. The Y Performance model still costs $ 59,990, but Electrek first reported that the variant now includes the Performance package as standard equipment. Now each Model Y Performance includes larger 21-inch wheels, more robust brakes and a lower suspension. Top speed also climbs to 155 mph, although the range drops to EPA-estimated 291 miles, compared to 315 miles in the Long Range.
Tesla has a habit of shuffling prices around at any time, especially since it doesn’t follow traditional model year cycles, so the move isn’t a big surprise. However, there are likely to be some annoying new Model Y customers after paying a bit more for the electric SUV. The automaker did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the decision.
We will have access to another variant of Model Y in the near future, which should help fill the gap that the now-canceled Model Y Standard Range would have filled. Musk said a new long-range RWD model will arrive in the coming months and will likely start around $ 45,000 with a single electric motor.
