AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/12 Report--

Tesla Model Y has added a rear-wheel drive version, while the earlier standard continued version of Model Y, which was launched earlier, has been removed from the shelves, showing that it is expected to be delivered in the first quarter of 2022, and the price is the same as that of the Model Y standard version at 276000 yuan, according to Tesla's Chinese website. As a result, Tesla Model Y currently has three models on sale, including the new rear wheel drive version, the long-lasting version and the high-performance version.

The standard continued version was cancelled and replaced by a rear-wheel drive version, both priced at 276000 yuan. However, there is no difference in appearance and basic configuration between the two models, but in terms of mileage and acceleration time, the "rear-wheel drive version" has increased its 20km NEDC mileage to 6.9s compared with the standard afterdrive version, which is 1.3 seconds slower than the standard version. In terms of delivery time, the standard continued version was expected to be delivered in 10-14 weeks, that is, around the Spring Festival, while the rear wheel drive version was changed to the first quarter of 2022.

In response to this update of Tesla Model Y, Tesla, a relevant person in China, told the media: the power of the vehicle has not been lowered, the new Model Y rear wheel drive version has been put on the shelves, the original Model Y standard continued flight version has been taken off the line, and the new rear wheel drive version has been added to the battery life at the same time. A salesperson of Tesla also said that the configuration of Model Y will not be affected by customers who have placed an order for Model Y in advance.

It is understood that the Model Y standard continued version was launched on July 8 this year, with the new car selling at 291840 yuan before the subsidy and 276000 yuan after the subsidy. As a result, Tesla's domestic Model Y models on sale have been increased to three models, including not only the Model Y standard continued version, but also the long-lasting version and the Performance high-performance version, which are priced at 347900 yuan and 387900 yuan respectively.

It is worth noting that the expected delivery date of the Model Y standard continued flight version has been extended to 10 to 14 weeks from 6 to 10 weeks earlier, according to Tesla's Chinese official website yesterday. As for the adjustment of the estimated delivery time of the Model Y standard continuation version, Tesla said that there are too many orders for Model Y at present, which may affect the adjustment of its delivery time. Unexpectedly, the next day, Tesla took off the Model Y standard to continue.

Some netizens pointed out that this move may be related to the acceleration package launched by Tesla. It is understood that in September this year, Tesla pushed a message about the "acceleration package" to the owner of the Model Y long-range flight version through the official App. It is understood that the acceleration time of the 100 km acceleration package can be increased from the original 5s to 4.4s after the upgrade, and its price is 14100 yuan. However, the change in Model Y is not expected to have a significant impact. After all, it is slower to accelerate with an increase of zero percent, and the pros and cons are relatively balanced.

There are also industry insiders said: Tesla this operation should be to open the gap between the Model Y rear wheel drive version and other models, after all, the gap between the earlier vehicle acceleration performance of 5.6 seconds and the high-performance version is not obvious, while reducing the acceleration performance of the entry version will highlight the differentiation between models.
