New affordable Tesla Model Y Standard – SEK 50,000 cheaper
Tesla has once again attracted attention. This time with a secret leak about the next Model Y. A simplified version of the popular SUV has been named Model Y Standard and is expected to be launched as early as the fourth quarter of this year.
New, cheaper entry-level model
According to reports, the Model Y Standard will have a starting price of around SEK 375,000 in the US. That is about SEK 50,000 cheaper than today's cheapest Model Y, making it Tesla's lowest-priced car model to date, even below the entry-level version of the Model 3.
What we know about the new Tesla Model Y Standard
- Updated front with new headlights and integrated front camera
- No light strip like today's Model Y

- New 18" wheels called Aperture
- Interior with manually adjustable steering wheel, textile decor, and manual air vents on the second row
