A couple of weeks after the new Tesla Model Y was unveiled, the updated version of the world’s most popular EV has launched in the US. Interestingly, the outgoing Model Y remains on sale, and the new version is first landing in a single spec known as the Launch Series, priced at $59,990.

Deliveries have been penciled in for March. All Model Y Launch Series models have the Long Range All-Wheel Drive powertrain and Acceleration Boost as standard. It also gets a special badge on the tailgate, puddle lights, unique door sills, Launch Series branding on the wireless phone chargers, premium textile trim, and vegan suede. Of more importance is the fact that Full-Self Driving comes standard, saving drivers $8,000.

Factoring in the $7,500 federal EV tax credit, the new Model Y’s price falls to $52,490. The outgoing Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive starts at $47,990, or $40,490 after the credit – which President Trump has indicated he will scrap.

While the Launch Series is pricier than the old equivalent model, it offers both 19- and 20-inch wheels as standard, whereas the old model’s 20-inch shoes are a $2,000 option. Additionally, the four color options – Stealth Grey, Pearl White Multi-Coat, Ultra Red, and Quicksilver – come at no extra cost. With the exception of Stealth Grey, these colors command $1,000 and $2,000 premiums on the old Model Y. A steel tow bar can also be added at no extra charge, allowing the new EV to tow up to 3,500 lbs (1,587 kg).

The Tech Details

The Model Y Launch Series has an estimated range of 320 miles (515 km). In typical Tesla fashion, there is no mention of horsepower or torque figures, but we know the EV can hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.1 seconds and tops out at 125 mph (201 km/h). The outgoing Long Range All-Wheel has an EPA range of 311 miles (500 km), needs 4.8 seconds to reach 60 mph, but it has a quoted top speed of 135 mph (217 km/h) – 10 mph higher than the new one.

As with the new Model Y launched in international markets, the US-spec model arrives with all of the same visual updates and interior improvements. Among the most significant upgrades are a new 15.4-inch infotainment display, redesigned seats with a ventilated function up front, and an overhauled dashboard with configurable ambient lighting.

Tesla also says the new Model Y in the US gets the same retuned suspension as other markets, boosting comfort and providing better steering response.
