Review: Tesla’s cheapest Model Y cuts the price by £7k – but is it worth it?
The pared-back EV cuts about £7,000 from the Premium model while keeping Tesla app connectivity, basic Autopilot and 314 WLTP miles of range.
- Tesla has launched the Standard Model in the UK, offering a more accessible version after nearly five years on the market. The pared-back vehicle proves less compromised than expected.
- To reduce costs, the Standard Model features a smaller battery, cutting range to 314 WLTP miles, while removing amenities including the panoramic roof, rear heated seats, and light bars.
- Performance remains capable with 0-60mph acceleration in 6.9 seconds, while the interior retains dual wireless phone chargers, space in the "frunk," and a minimalist design controlled entirely from the central screen.
- Buyers save around £7,000 compared to the Premium version; Tesla suggests the Premium remains the better choice for most, though monthly PCP payments make the Standard more accessible.
- Access to Tesla's Supercharger network and app remain key selling points, positioning the Standard Model as a practical option that retains core brand appeal despite reduced specifications.
