TESLA MODEL Y STANDARD FULL REVIEW! JUST GET THE BASE MODEL 3

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model Y Standard trim, reviewed here in its base configuration, aims to be the most affordable Model Y. While it successfully lowers the price point by approximately $5,000 compared to the 'Premium' (formerly standard) model, this comes at the cost of several feature deletions. Notably, the removal of ventilated seats, manual steering wheel adjustment, a HEPA filter, and a reduction in speaker count (from 15 to 7) are significant. The reviewer highlights the new textile interior, derived from the Tesla Semi, as a positive, along with the manually adjustable steering rack and the improved front trunk closure mechanism. However, the relocation of seat controls to the touchscreen is a major point of contention, deemed an unnecessary inconvenience. The suspension tuning is noted as being softer and more comfortable in the front, but the rear remains bouncy, a long-standing issue. Visually, the revised front and rear designs are considered an improvement by the reviewers. Despite the cost-cutting measures, the vehicle retains its core efficiency and autonomy hardware. The reviewer suggests that while this 'Standard' Model Y is a viable option for those needing a Model Y, the concurrently launched Model 3 Standard might be the more compelling choice for value.
