Tesla opened the order books for the Model Y LR RWD in the US, with a price tag of $44,990 and 357 miles of range, but customers might prefer the AWD model

Tesla has started taking orders for its cheaper rear-wheel drive Model Y in the US. The $45,990 vehicle costs $37,490 after federal tax subsidies (as long as they still exist ), making it the second-cheapest EV in the company’s lineup after the RWD Model 3.

Just days after Tesla rolled out its new Acceleration Boost for the so-called Model Y ‘Juniper’, it’s back again with more news in the form of the the Long Range Rear Wheel Drive trim. As the name suggests, it sheds a motor, gains some range, and, unsurprisingly, is $4,000 cheaper than the Long Range All-Wheel Drive variant.
