[Wennfred]

There you have it, $48,000, the price isn’t set in stone yet.

Tesla surprisingly lists Model Y Long Range RWD for $48,000 - Electrek

Imo the price is what it was before 3k drop in AWD. 1900 differenece between AWD and RWD do not make much sense. Based on M3 price, I'd say it's 4-5k difference (M3 SR+ RWD is 9K cheaper than LR AWD - 4k for battery, 5k for motor)
I'd expect it 45-46k, either price difference not so good. Does 4 wheels upgrade (Induction) cost same as a motor? Hardly...

Well, just read the article, same thoughts as mine : )


Update: Tesla has removed the option to select the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive after we posted this article.

It’s surprising since Musk hinted that the price would be closer to $45,000 and it’s only $2,000 cheaper than the Model Y Long Range Dual Motor.
