"It's no secret that the Model Y Standard proved polarizing to numerous Tesla watchers in the United States. At just a few thousand dollars less than the Model Y Premium, the entry-level variant seemed like a subpar deal considering all the features that are missing from the vehicle. In Europe, however, the story might be different, and the Model Y Standard might actually end up being a pretty good deal for numerous car shoppers."
"Listed at $39,990, it was only $5,000 less than the Model Y Premium Rear Wheel Drive (RWD), which starts at $44,990 before options. Considering the list of features and functions that are absent in the Model Y Standard, a good number of Tesla community members noted that the vehicle should have been priced lower, perhaps around $34,990, for it to truly be a good deal."
"While the Model Y Standard may not make much sense in the United States, its pricing actually makes it a very good deal in Europe. A look at the order page for the Model Y in The Netherlands, for example, shows that the Model Y Standard is priced at €39,990 before options, €10,000 less than the Model Y Premium Rear Wheel Drive, which is priced at €50,990 before options."
The Model Y Standard faced criticism in the United States for offering limited features at $39,990, only $5,000 less than the Premium RWD at $44,990. Many felt the entry-level trim should be priced closer to $34,990 to justify missing equipment. The Cybertruck RWD experience showed that small savings with significant omissions can lead to low demand and discontinuation. In the Netherlands, the Model Y Standard is €39,990 versus €50,990 for Premium RWD, creating a €10,000 gap that could position the Standard as a compelling, budget-friendly way for drivers to enter the Tesla ecosystem in Europe.
