Tesla pulls the $41,990 Model Y AWD from its US order page

Tesla has removed the Model Y All-Wheel Drive, priced at US$41,990, from its US order page. The entry Model Y in the configurator is now the Rear-Wheel Drive at US$39,990. Tesla has given no reason, and the trim has not been confirmed as discontinued.

What the new lineup looks like

The cheapest all-wheel-drive Model Y you can now select is the Premium All-Wheel Drive at US$49,990. That is US$8,000 more than the trim that was removed. The Premium Rear-Wheel Drive is listed at US$45,990.

With fees and before taxes, the estimated purchase price comes to US$47,630 for the Premium Rear-Wheel Drive and US$51,630 for the Premium All-Wheel Drive.

Delivery windows are slipping

Premium Rear-Wheel Drive and Premium All-Wheel Drive orders now show estimated delivery from January to March 2027. In September, all-wheel drive was still offered with December to January windows.

The Model Y L Premium All-Wheel Drive now shows February to April 2027. That is one month later than the January to March window seen on October 18. These estimates came from a configurator check using a Seattle, Washington ZIP code, 98101, so your own window may differ.

The Model Y L Premium All-Wheel Drive Launch Series is US$61,990 before fees, or US$63,630 including destination and order fees. It has an EPA-estimated range of 332 miles. Buyers also get free Supercharging for 12 months, along with a 12-month subscription to Full Self-Driving (Supervised).

What to do about it

• If you need AWD: budget for the Premium trim. The gap from the old price is US$8,000, so decide whether snow, hills or traction justify that, or whether Rear-Wheel Drive at US$39,990 is enough.
• If you want the lowest price: the US$39,990 Rear-Wheel Drive is now the entry point.
• If you already have an order: check your account for any change to the estimated window, since the dates have been moving later.
• If you are comparing Model Y L: the bundled Supercharging and Full Self-Driving (Supervised), each covering 12 months, offsets part of the higher price, but only if you would use them.

Since Tesla has not said whether the AWD trim is gone for good, it is worth checking the order page again before committing. Configurator prices and windows can change without notice.
