Tesla stops selling the entry-level All-Wheel Drive (AWD) version of its Model Y through its US online configurator, effectively ending the lowest-priced dual-motor option. Multiple outlets say the trim, priced around $41,990–$42,000, is no longer listed, with some reports noting it lasted just over nine months.
The context, as described across coverage, is that Tesla’s cheapest available AWD Model Y now costs substantially more, with the starting price moving to a range of about $49,990 to $51,630 depending on the specific trim Tesla lists. One outlet also adds that vehicles may still be purchasable from existing inventory even after the configurator change.
Outlets largely focus on the price and the discontinuation of the AWD variant. The differing angles are primarily in how they present the numbers (e.g., $41,990 vs $42,000; $8,000 vs a broader increase) and whether they mention the approximate launch timing and the possibility of buying remaining stock.
