The Tesla Model Y Thread

Tesla launches a cheaper Model Y RWD option in the US

Shortly after Tesla us dropped the base AWD Model Y option from its configurator, the company adds a rear-wheel drive option that's $3,750 cheaper. It starts at $43,990 and when you apply the full tax credit of $7,500, the actual asking price goes down to $36,490.

Some believe that Tesla is using Lithium-iron-Phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are cheaper to produce than Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) cells. They are also touted as more durable and more efficient. Perhaps that's the reason Tesla is able to keep the price of the new Model Y so low.

Slow Sales Mean More Tesla Discounts

The Tesla Model Y sedan and Model Y crossover are both getting price cuts.

Tesla has once again cut prices of its Model 3 sedan and Model Y crossover amid the electric vehicle price war we’re currently in the midst of. The move comes just days after third-quarter deliveries for the Austin, Texas-based automaker missed the goals they were expecting to hit.

According to Reuters, the latest cuts come in an effort to bolster delivery. The automaker wants to deliver a record 476,000 vehicles in the final three months of the year. It’s a piece of a puzzle that aims to hand over 1.8 million vehicles in total this year. That’s definitely a tall order.

The standard Model 3 now starts at $38,990 – $1,250 cheaper than before. Meanwhile, Model Y long-range variants dropped to $48,480 – a $2,000 difference. That means it’s actually cheaper than the previous entry-level Model Y standard range it just killed off. Reuters reports that Tesla also cut prices on its higher-end variants of both vehicles.

Overall, the outlet says that standard Model 3 prices have come down about 17 percent since the start of the year. During that same period, Model Y long-range variants have seen an over 26 percent drop in price.

Tesla offers to wrap up your car in new colors

In a bid to offer Tesla enthusiasts a little more personalization, Tesla is now offering vehicle wraps for the Model 3 and Model Y. But does this move from Elon Musk’s company truly electrify the aesthetics of these cars or simply puts a premium price on an old idea?

For those new to the concept, wraps allow car owners to change their vehicle's appearance without a repaint. These wraps not only jazz up your car's exterior but also shield the original paint from unsavory scratches and weather-related damage. They've been particularly alluring to Tesla owners as their vehicles come in very limited paint options.

It's no accident we've seen a slew of companies specialize in Tesla wrapping like Unplugged Performance, TSportline, and RPM Tesla. While Tesla did dip its toes in the wrap market in China, this new venture marks its foray into the US market.

Updated Tesla Model Y deliveries start - MIIT filing reveals optional radar

Tesla's refreshed Model Y deliveries already began and an MIIT filing in China has revealed an interesting detail.

The MIIT catalog features two Model Y entries, distinguishable by their model numbers, TSL6480BEVAR3 and TSL6480BEVAR4. While their visuals and model numbers might vary, the provided specifications for both are identical. Here's where it gets interesting: potential buyers can choose to outfit their Model Y with radar and opt for front fog lights. The inclusion of radar is probably the most important difference here, after the company's full reliance on cameras for its ADAS and subsequent saga of radar modules removal from customer’s cars.

Stealing a Tesla isn’t your average Grand Theft Auto

If you were to ask thieves about their favorite cars to pilfer, chances are, Teslas wouldn’t make the list. And no, it's not because they've developed an eco-conscious mindset overnight or a sudden appreciation for Elon Musk’s tweets.

Thanks to a built-in GPS tracking feature, Tesla’s fleet has comfortably settled atop the list of America's least stolen vehicles per Highway Loss Data Institute's latest report. The study is based on US insurance industry data spanning 40 million vehicles with 18,000 theft claims.

And who can blame the crooks? Stealing a car only to have it digitally tailed seems like an overly complicated game of hide and seek.

The Tesla Model 3, a midsize luxury electric car, and the Model Y, its SUV counterpart, recorded theft frequencies at 3% of the average for passenger vehicles. Several other Tesla variants are snugly placed at the top of the “least likely to be stolen” leaderboard.

BIG software upgrade last night. Normally takes about 25 minutes to apply one of these, this took an hour. Lots of nice new features, like being able to plan your journey on the app on your phone in advance, then send it to the car ready for you to drive. Also a big change to the parking "sensors", not sure yet if it's an upgrade or not but it now constructs a 3d model of your surrounds, including painted lines etc, on the display when you're parking. The park control was a little iffy before, especially on cars without ultrasonic sensors - let's see how this goes.

You can also change the noise the car makes when it locks. For some reason though my wife won't let me set it to a fart.

Here are the top 10 best selling EVs in the US in 2023

The top selling EV in the US in 2023 was the Tesla Model Y, with 394,497 units sold. It was followed by the Model 3 with 220,910 units sold, and the Chevrolet Bolt EV/EUV with 62,045, though keep in mind these are two different models counted together.

Next up is the Ford Mustang Mach-E (40,771 sold), then the Volkswagen ID.4 (37,789 units), followed by the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (33,918 units), Rivian R1S (24,783 units), Ford F-150 Lightning (24,165 units), the Tesla Model X (23,015 units), with the BMW i4 rounding up the top ten with 22,583 sold.

While Tesla is obviously dominating overall, the Model S is conspicuously missing from the top 10 - apparently no one wants one anymore? Even so, 55% of EVs purchased by Americans in 2023 were made by Tesla. That puts it in a comfortable lead, but here's the context - back in Q1 2022, which is not that long ago, it held over 70% market share. So it's clearly shrinking, and will probably keep shrinking as more and more EVs are launched by more and more brands.
