Tesla Brings Lower-Priced Model Y Standard to Europe at €39,990

Built in Germany, the variant retains FM radio and lane‑centring assist, highlighting Tesla’s market-specific feature strategy.

Overview

  • Tesla has begun selling the 2026 Model Y Standard in select European markets at €39,990, about €10,000 below the Model Y Premium.
  • The Europe-spec car keeps features dropped in the U.S. version, including Basic Autopilot lane‑centring, an FM tuner, and power‑folding mirrors.
  • Cost cuts still include removed LED light strips, downgraded audio, no rear touchscreen, less vegan leather, and a covered glass roof with headliner.
  • The Model Y Standard is not on sale in the UK or Ireland and is not planned for Australia due to the lack of right‑hand‑drive production.
  • Tesla’s cheaper trims follow the recent U.S. launch; Model 3 Standard has not expanded to Europe, and U.S. reports say Autosteer is deleted but can be added back via subscription.
