"For as long as it's been a company, Tesla has been promising an entry-level electric vehicle that would compel more people to make the switch from gas guzzlers to zero-emission. Elon Musk himself predicted that Tesla would eventually sell a $25,000 EV and revolutionize the auto industry. The Model 3, the Model Y, and even the Cybertruck were all supposed to have more attainable variants, but they never materialized."
"Now, the company says it is finally ready to release its everyman EVs. Yep, there are two of them, and they are just stripped down versions of the automaker's best-selling models: the long-rumored Model Y Standard, which starts at $41,600 (including destination charges and fees); and the Model 3 Standard, starting at $38,640. Both vehicles are available now to order, with customer deliveries starting December 2025."
Tesla announced two lower-cost models: the Model Y Standard starting at $41,600 and the Model 3 Standard starting at $38,640, with deliveries beginning December 2025. Both cars are based on the Highland and Juniper refreshes and are stripped-down versions of Tesla's best-selling models. Both models have an estimated 321-mile range, a 15.4-inch infotainment screen, an integrated Grok-powered voice assistant, heated first-row seats, a heated steering wheel, and a dual-tone interior of textile and vegan leather. Several previously standard features were removed to reduce price and simplify the offerings. The Model 3 Standard is an unexpected addition to the lineup.
