Tesla discontinued the Model Y RWD in the U.S., introducing a Long-Range RWD version and a potential range boost option for older models at $1,500-$2,000 through software updates.
Older RWD Model Ys may gain 40-60 miles of additional range, hinting that previous models had higher capacity battery packs software-limited to 260 miles.
Pricing may vary with $44,990 for the discontinued RWD model, while the LR AWD starts at the same price post-tax credit, showing potential cost-effectiveness for early RWD buyers.
Elon Musk hinted at the need to cover costs with the paid range boost option, suggesting the transition from RWD to Long Range RWD was a planned strategy.
