39 990 € : Tesla democratises the Model Y with its Standard version
Following its launch on the US market a few weeks ago, the Tesla Model Y Standard has now officially arrived in France, and will be available to order from December. This new version marks a turning point in Tesla's strategy: offering a high-performance electric vehicle at a price of €39,990, €5,000 less than the previous rear-wheel drive version, which was previously sold at €44,990.
This significant price reduction makes the Model Y Standard accessible to a wider range of professionals. This will open up new opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses looking to make their fleets greener while keeping their investments under control.
Made in Europe" assembly and immediate availability
The other major advantage of the Standard version is that it will be assembled in Europe. Like the other European Model Ys, it will be assembled at the Gigafactory in Berlin, Germany.
In terms of availability, Tesla is announcing deliveries from December 2025. This rapid time-to-market means that fleet managers can look forward to the renewal of their fleets and meet the regulatory deadlines imposed by the Mobility Orientation Act (LOM). With the new Model Y Standard, Tesla is confirming its commitment to democratising premium electric mobility while meeting the economic expectations of professionals.
A autonomy unchanged for the Tesla Model Y Standard
Contrary to what its more accessible price positioning might suggest, the Tesla Model Y Standard does not sacrifice range. With a WLTP range of 534 km, it is even slightly better than the previous rear-wheel drive version, offering sufficient mileage for a wide range of professional activities. In real-life conditions, this range translates into 420 to 450 km if you take into account variations linked to weather conditions, changes in altitude and speed.
For example, a salesperson driving 200 to 300 km a day could go a full day without an intermediate charge with the range of the new Tesla Model Y Standard.

Equipment and design: what's new on the Model Y Standard
The Tesla Model Y Standard adopts a streamlined approach that focuses on the essentials without compromising the user experience. Aesthetically, the design is simplified with the removal of the LED light bars at the front and rear, replaced by conventional LED headlights and automatic, rather than adaptive, high beams. While this change may be divisive from a stylistic point of view, it contributes directly to reducing costs, while retaining the modern, uncluttered visual signature of the American manufacturer.
An interior focused on functionality
The large 15.4-inch touchscreen is retained, ensuring intuitive access to all the vehicle's controls. However, the Tesla Model Y Standard does not include the 8-inch second-row touchscreen, unlike the Premium and Performance models.
The seats are finished in fabric. So no microsuede or carbon fibre. In addition, only the first-row seats are heated, and ventilation is not available on this model.
A number of comfort features are also disappearing, such as customisable ambient lighting and a sound system that has been reduced to 7 speakers compared with 9 on the Premium version. propulsion.
Finally, the panoramic glass roof is concealed from the inside by a roof canopy, which Tesla claims drastically reduces light in the cabin, as well as parasitic noise.
According to our expertise, these withdrawals are unlikely to have an impact on employee productivity. Instead, they represent an opportunity for companies to access a high-performance electric vehicle at a competitive price.
Pricing that doesn't detract from the premium experience
Tesla has made the strategic choice to retain all its essential technologies, including theautopilot standard, which enables its electric SUVs to maintain a trajectory, brake and accelerate according to the obstacles encountered in its path. The Sentinel mode and on-board camera, meanwhile, record notable events while driving or any suspicious behaviour in the vicinity of the vehicle when parked.
The interior is equipped with two wireless phone chargers and five USB-C ports that can deliver up to 65 watts. There are all the details characteristic of Tesla's top-of-the-range experience, such as electric reclining of the first-row seats and ambient lighting for the footwell and storage compartments.
As far as ventilation is concerned, the air vents in the first row can be adjusted via the touch-screen. On the outside, there are 8 cameras and the boot has a hands-free opening system.
