Tesla Teases More Affordable Model Y SUV for October 7 Reveal

Tesla has teased a new, more affordable version of its Model Y SUV, set to be revealed on October 7. The prototype hints at significant changes, including a solid black roof and smaller wheels.

The teaser image showcases a spinning wheel cover and distinct, separated headlamps, suggesting a budget-friendly variant. The prototype, spotted near Tesla's Texas Gigafactory, confirms these changes, with the front light bar removed and a simpler bumper.

The rumored change to the roof has seemingly gone ahead, swapping the panoramic glass panel for a solid black section. This, along with the removal of luxury features like the glass roof, second-row screen, and HEPA air filter, indicates a more stripped-down tesla model y. Tesla is said to be dropping these luxury touches for only $5,000 off the price of the tesla model y standard.

The wheels on the prototype appear to have shrunk to 18 inches, further emphasizing the cost-cutting measures. The timing and shape of the headlights in the teaser suggest this is indeed the budget version of the tesla model y.

Tesla's upcoming reveal on October 7 promises a more affordable tesla model y, with significant design and feature changes. The prototype confirms these alterations, which aim to make the tesla model y more accessible to a wider range of customers. The final details, including the official price and availability, will be revealed later this week.
