Case in point, the Model Y Standard Range was introduced earlier this year but it didn&#8217;t take long for the Palo Alto-based company to retire the entry-level trim. During its short time on the market, it got a substantial $2,000 price cut about a month after its launch, lowering the price to just under $37,000.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla then pulled the plug by removing the Standard Range from the configurator, but head honcho Elon Musk said at that time the base Model Y would still be available &#8220;off the menu.&#8221; In other words, those interested in getting behind the wheel of the cheapest electric crossover from Tesla had to order it either by phone or in person.<\/p>\n<p>The Standard Range&#8217;s introduction was considered an unexpected move taking into account Elon Musk claimed the version&#8217;s range of fewer than 250 miles would be &#8220;unacceptably low.&#8221; When it was announced, the lowest-spec Model Y was advertised with an EPA-estimated range of 244 miles.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to July, the Model Y Standard Range is back, but not in the United States. It&#8217;s showing up in Tesla&#8217;s configurator for Hong Kong, meaning it&#8217;s available in right-hand drive. This single-motor, rear-wheel-drive version starts off at HK$329,800 (about $42,450 at current exchange rates) and offers 455 kilometers (283 miles) of range in the WLTP test cycle, which typically results in a longer range than EPA.<\/p>\n<p>The Standard Range is HK$48,000 ($6,200) cheaper than the Long Range in Hong Kong and hits 62 mph (100 km\/h) in 5.6 seconds or 0.6s later than the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive model. Both have a top speed of 135 mph (217 km\/h). Stepping up to the Long Range increases the range by 87 km (54 miles) to 542 km (337 miles) per WLTP.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s too soon to say whether the Model Y Long Range&#8217;s return is only a Hong Kong affair or other markets (presumably the RHD ones) will be getting the cheaper trim. Meanwhile, deliveries in HK are programmed to start in September according to Tesla&#8217;s regional configurator.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Tesla<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla&#8217;s online configurator keeps changing as the EV maker frequently adjusts pricing, delivery times, and the availability of certain versions.
