These are the prices of the Tesla Model Y

We already know all the prices of the Tesla Model Y, so we have wondered what other alternatives we could buy for the same money

It was in March 2019 when we met the Tesla Model Y, the new compact SUV from the brand that will complete its crossover range, positioned below the Tesla Model X. This model is characterised by its coupé-style design and the possibility of fitting up to seven seats.

The company based in Palo Alto is well aware of the success the Tesla Model 3 has enjoyed, and it has been the best-selling electric car in Spain. So what better move than to capitalise on these good results and launch an SUV version of the model? Indeed, it shares the same platform and 75% of its components.

The model’s online configurator is already fully active, even though it will not enter production until 2021. In addition, you can already place a reservation by paying €2,000. So we are going to reveal all the prices of the Tesla Model Y.

Two types of drivetrain and three available options

Firstly, the company offers a choice of two configurations: with rear-wheel drive and with all-wheel drive (Dual Motor):

The first option is the Long Range variant with a range of 540 kilometres. In this case, it has 238 CV and manages 0 to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds and a top speed of 540 kilometres. This is the entry-level variant of the range, so the price starts at €58,000.

If we opt for all-wheel drive, we have a motor on each axle, and we can choose between two variants: the first is the Long Range, whose range is 505 kilometres and whose 351 CV improves performance over the previous model (0 to 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 217 km/h). In this case the price starts at €62,000.

Finally, we have the top-of-the-range option called Performance. In this case, the range is 480 kilometres and performance improves greatly thanks to the power increase to 480 CV: 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 241 km/h. Furthermore, sporty elements are added to the standard equipment in this version, such as 20-inch Performance wheels, Performance brakes, a carbon-fibre spoiler, lowered suspension and Track Mode. In this case, the price rises to €70,000.

This is its optional equipment

Of course, we have optional equipment items that can push up the price. To begin with, the Tesla Model Y has five body colours available, with pearl white as standard, and each of the other four costs €1,050.

There are also 19-inch wheels (+€1,600), the option of configuring the interior with white upholstery (+€1,050), a third row of seats (+€3,200) or the Autopilot (+€6,400).

What can you buy for the price of a Tesla Model Y?

At Top10motor we like to go one step further, so we have thought about what we could buy for the price of a Tesla Model Y. To compare, we have configured a unit with all the optional equipment.

So, we have chosen the Tesla Model Y Performance with all available accessories fitted. With this configuration, the price comes to €83,730, although according to the brand’s forecasts it could drop to €75,930 with discounts and incentives. So, what alternatives can we buy at this price?

Jaguar I Pace EV400

The first alternative we have considered is one of the pioneers in the luxury electric SUV segment. This is the Jaguar I Pace which, in its entry-level variant, costs €80,400.

In this one we already have all-wheel drive thanks to an electric motor on each axle, and 294 kW or 400 CV of power. It therefore has 696 Nm of torque, very good performance (0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 200 km/h) and a range of 480 kilometres.

Mercedes-Benz EQC

The Mercedes-Benz EQC was launched last year and is the first electric car from the brand with the star. It has all-wheel drive thanks to its two electric motors and achieves a maximum power of 300 kW, that is, 408 CV. It also has a range of 400 kilometres.
