"Tesla's answer to sagging sales over the last couple of years has generally been: "How about another Model Y?" It makes some sense, as the crossover is Tesla's best seller by far and the most popular electric vehicle on the planet. Last year, Tesla launched its first refresh of the Model Y in a bid to boost sales. It also rolled out a stretched-out Model YL in China."
"Last month, the automaker brought back a seven-seat Model Y to the U.S. market. That brings us to Tuesday, when the EV maker quietly began selling an all-wheel drive take on that stripped-down Model Y. (It also nixed the "Standard" lingo.) The Model Y All-Wheel Drive retails for $41,990 and returns 294 miles of EPA-estimated range. I'll let Iulian Dnistran explain the rest."
Tesla rolled out a stripped-down Model Y All-Wheel Drive priced at $41,990 with an EPA-estimated 294-mile range, following prior refreshes and a stretched Model YL in China. The cheaper trims removed features and used lower-cost materials, and a seven-seat Model Y recently returned to the U.S. market. Industry analysts express doubt that additional Model Y variants alone will sustain Tesla's long-term relevance, arguing that genuine new models are necessary. Other industry movement includes Volvo reporting profitable EVs and Rivian advancing a robotics venture, signaling broader strategic shifts across the EV market.
