Tesla has removed the entry-level Model Y all-wheel-drive from its U.S. order page, Not a Tesla App reported, less than a year after the trim went on sale. Tesla has not said why it pulled the configuration or whether it will return.
InsideEVs, in a Nov. 13 report, independently confirmed that the Model Y All-Wheel Drive was no longer listed on Tesla's U.S. website. The rear-wheel-drive Model Y remains on sale, so a shopper can still order a base Model Y. What is gone is the cheaper dual-motor option.
What the trim cost, and what is left
Not a Tesla App, citing a report from Sawyer Merritt, said the discontinued Model Y AWD had been listed at $41,990, $2,000 more than the $39,990 rear-wheel-drive model. It matched the Premium AWD's 4.6-second 0-60 mph time, had the shortest range in the lineup at an EPA-estimated 294 miles, and used the same stripped-back interior as the cheaper rear-wheel-drive truck: fabric seats, a seven-speaker sound system, a manually adjusted steering column and no rear screen.
With that trim gone, Not a Tesla App said the cheapest all-wheel-drive Model Y is now the Premium AWD, listed at $49,990, or $8,000 more than the base AWD had been. InsideEVs put the Premium AWD at $51,630 and the remaining base rear-wheel-drive Model Y at $41,630. Those InsideEVs figures appear to include destination charges on top of the starting prices Not a Tesla App listed. Buyers should check the live configurator, including fees, before treating either number as a final out-the-door price.
InsideEVs also said the discontinued AWD used the same battery as the single-motor rear-wheel-drive Model Y, with 54 fewer miles of claimed range than the cheapest rear-driven Model Y now on sale, and that it was about 200 pounds heavier. The remaining base rear-wheel-drive model, in InsideEVs' account, still has redesigned lights, passive shock absorbers, a 225-kilowatt charging cap, fewer speakers, mixed leather-and-cloth seats, no FM radio, no rear screen, no ventilated seats, and only heated front seats, plus a headliner that covers the glass roof.
Delivery windows have slipped, too
Not a Tesla App said Tesla also changed expected delivery windows. All Model Y Premium trims are now sold out for 2026, with new orders showing estimates of January to March 2027, later than the prior December 2026 to January 2027 window. New orders for the six-seat Model Y L now show February to April 2027, after an earlier slip to January through March 2027.
The cut fits a broader thinning of Tesla's passenger-car lineup. The Model S and Model X were discontinued earlier this year. Tesla has also stopped taking new orders for the two cheaper Cybertruck trims, leaving the Cyberbeast as the only Cybertruck still on the order form. Tesla has not announced a replacement for the entry-level Model Y AWD.
