Tesla Revamps Model Y in Europe: New Variants, Enhanced Specs, and Lower Prices
  • The top-tier long-range dual-motor Model Y costs €52,990, offering 340 horsepower and a quicker acceleration time of 4.8 seconds to 62 mph, though its range is reduced to 364 miles.

  • These variants also benefit from a 10% improvement in efficiency and a reduction in drag coefficient from 0.23 to 0.22, contributing to a quieter cabin experience.

  • In terms of range, the RWD model offers the shortest at 311 miles, while the LR RWD and LR AWD provide ranges of 387 and 364 miles, respectively.

  • All new Model Y variants feature updates such as improved aerodynamics, ventilated seats, and an 8-inch rear touchscreen.

  • These updates come amid declining sales for Tesla globally and growing scrutiny of CEO Elon Musk's activities, raising hopes that the refreshed Model Y will boost sales.

  • The previously available Launch Series, which included premium features, has been discontinued in most European countries but remains available in the UK.

  • Tesla plans to introduce a Performance model of the Model Y later in 2025, which is expected to carry a premium of $5,000 to $8,000 over the AWD model.

  • The updated lineup includes the Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) starting at €44,990, the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive (LR RWD) at €49,990, and the Long Range All-Wheel Drive (LR AWD) at €52,990.

  • The LR AWD variant is now priced €2,000 less than its predecessor, while the LR RWD has seen a €1,000 price increase.

  • The long-range single-motor variant, now equipped with a 78.4 kWh NMC battery, has increased its range from 372 miles to 386 miles.

  • As Europe phases out the Launch Series, other regions might follow suit depending on market demand.

  • Tesla has launched a revised Model Y for order in Europe, introducing three new variants with enhanced specifications.
