$41,000 Tesla Model Y? Engineering Details, VIN Update, Stock Market Check In
This video delves into the potential pricing structure of the Tesla Model Y, specifically a rumored $41,000 base model, and compares it to the Model 3... more's pricing. The reviewer highlights that while the Model Y Performance and Long Range AWD trims are $4,000 more expensive than their Model 3 counterparts, the base Model Y price of $41,000 suggests a $6,000 spread over the $35,000 Model 3 base, or a $1,000 spread over the Model 3 Standard Range Plus. The reviewer leans towards the latter comparison being more likely, suggesting the base Model Y will align with the Model 3 SR+ in features and range (around 240 miles).
