Tesla has removed the $41,990 Model Y All-Wheel Drive, its cheapest all-wheel-drive version of the crossover, from its U.S. order page, leaving the $49,990 Model Y Premium as the lowest-priced all-wheel-drive option buyers can configure.
The trim no longer appeared on Tesla’s U.S. configurator when EV checked it on Friday morning. Tesla has not announced the change, and its order page gives no explanation.
The Model Y AWD can still be bought from existing stock. Tesla’s U.S. new-vehicle inventory page still lists a “Model Y All-Wheel Drive” filter, with units priced at $42,990 and $43,990 on Friday, each rated at 294 miles of range.
Five Versions Left
Tesla’s Model Y design page now lists five versions. The entry Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive costs $39,990 and is rated at 348 miles of range (EPA est.), with 0-60 mph in 6.8 seconds and a 125 mph top speed, according to the page.
The Model Y Premium Rear-Wheel Drive costs $45,990, with 355 miles of range and 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds. The Model Y Premium All-Wheel Drive costs $49,990, with 327 miles and 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds.
That is $8,000, or 19%, more than the $41,990 trim it replaces as the cheapest new all-wheel-drive Model Y that can be ordered.
The Model Y Performance costs $57,990, with 306 miles, 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and a 155 mph top speed. The six-seat Model Y L Premium tops the lineup at $61,990, with 332 miles and 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds.
Tesla’s site advertises financing from 2.49% APR with $2,750 down over 72 months, with a 3.99% rate shown for the Performance.
Nine Months on Sale
Tesla added the Model Y AWD to its U.S. website on February 2 at $41,990, between the Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive and the Premium versions. “Model Y AWD now available in the US & Puerto Rico. Starts at $41,990 w/ 294 mi of range,” Tesla North America wrote on X. Tesla rated it at 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds.
“The new Model Y AWD is the lowest priced AWD vehicle we’ve ever sold in North America by a significant margin, despite all of its capabilities,” Tesla Vice President of Finance Sendil Palani wrote on X that day. “Hoping to welcome a lot of new owners to the Tesla family with our new lineup.”
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency had rated a 2027 model-year Model Y AWD at 294 miles in a record dated November 3, according to its fueleconomy.gov database, nine days before the trim was pulled from the order page.
Cybertruck Cuts
The Model Y change came a week after Tesla stopped taking orders for its cheapest Cybertruck, as it prepares to end production of the pickup.
Tesla paused orders for the Dual Motor AWD Cybertruck on November 6 and raised its listed price to $82,490 from $74,990, the day Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk announced the wind-down.
“Tesla will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production,” Musk wrote on X.
By November 10, Tesla had also stopped taking orders for the Premium AWD, priced at $92,490. That left the tri-motor Cyberbeast, now $109,990, as the only Cybertruck that can be ordered. Tesla’s configurator still listed the other two versions as unavailable on Friday.
“The Cybertruck order rate far exceeds our production rate. We will try to make as many as possible before shutting down the line in about 8 months, but will have to return deposits for a lot of people,” Musk wrote on November 9. Two days later, he extended production through the end of summer 2027 to work through more of the order backlog.
A Short-Lived Entry Pickup
The Dual Motor AWD had itself been a short-lived entry point. Tesla introduced it on February 19 at $59,990, rated by the EPA at 325 miles of range. “$59,990 Cybertruck,” Musk wrote on X. He added that the price was “Only for the next 10 days.”
Tesla raised the price to $69,990 in early March and to $74,990 in August, before the final increase to $82,490. That last listed price was 37.5% above the launch price.
The trim had replaced the Cybertruck Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, which Tesla dropped in September 2025, five months after launching it.
Model S and X
The Model Y change also comes six months after Tesla built its last Model S and Model X.
Musk announced the end of both nameplates on Tesla’s fourth-quarter earnings call on January 28. “It’s time to basically bring the Model S and X programs to an end with an honorable discharge, because we’re really moving into a future that is based on autonomy,” he said.
“If you’re interested in buying a Model S and X, now would be the time to order it,” he added, saying Tesla expected to wind down production of both models the following quarter.
“Custom orders of the Tesla Model S & X have come to an end. All that’s left are some in inventory,” Musk wrote on X on April 1. Tesla said in its first-quarter update, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, that its Optimus line, designed for 1 million robots a year, “will replace the Model S and Model X lines in Fremont.”
“The last Model S & the last Model X have been produced at Fremont Factory,” Tesla wrote on X on May 9, ending runs of 14 and 11 years. In its second-quarter update, Tesla said Optimus construction in Fremont “began after we decommissioned the Model S & X lines.”
Neither model is now listed on Tesla’s U.S. new-vehicle inventory page, which offers only the Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck. Its third-quarter 10-Q cited “fewer Model S and Model X deliveries after the product sunset in mid-2026.”
Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles in the third quarter and produced 464,391, according to its quarterly report. Deliveries were down 2.1% from a record 497,099 a year earlier.
Model 3 and Model Y accounted for 478,237 deliveries, or 98.3% of the total. “Other models,” which include the Cybertruck and the remaining Model S and X, fell 48% to 8,295 from 15,933 a year earlier.
