New Tesla and Standard: The best -selling car has a much cheaper version (and with a new design)

According to rumors, the model and cheap are reality. Tesla The new has just introduced Model and standardThe most economical version of your most successful electric car. The version that introduces changes in design, but, despite the lowest price, promises not to disappoint from the point of view of advantages.

In addition to the visible modifications in their appearance, which have already leaked in a few days in advance, it was not known exactly what other changes would be implemented in the model and standard to make it more affordable.

Before the launch, he was reflected on the elimination of a glass roof and other elements of jewelry, such as colored lights in the cabin. It was also said about the implementation of cheaper materials for the interior, which Tesla has already done in the past, for example, cheap model 3, which was launched last year in Mexico.

The most important modification at the level of external design is observed in headlights. Model and standard Distribute light bars “Front like behind”, which made his debut this year with a juniper version. While in the new 18 -inch opening wheels there is a cover with a well -known plastic appearance.

Other changes include a closed glass ceiling, and not a panoramic version of other existing models. Also, Elimination of the 8 -inch screen for the second row of seats and customized lights housesThe field on the other hand, the steering wheel has manual and non -electrical adjustment.

The Tesla model and standard arrive with fabric seats, and only the attackers heat up, but do not have ventilation. The rear seats can be folded, although only by hand. Audio equipment has 7 speakers instead of 15, and does not include subwoofer.

On the other hand, the air filtration system has a particle filter and smells, But this is not HEPA, as in another model Y. While in the rear seats adjustable ventilation grilles are available manually, instead of tactile control.

Finally, the Tesla model and the standard include passive shock absorbers And among driving, only adaptive cruise -control provides. In this last section, the absence of “AutoGyro” or AutosterField

Tesla model and standard already reality

To compensate for the reductions that allowed us to offer it at a lower price, Tesla notes that the model and standard are arriving The same software operates, like other brand vehiclesThis means that the new accessible electric car has an unlock from the phone, a travel planner that shows a supercharger available in real -time modes, a pet and sentries, support for playing a video game, etc.

In addition, the Tesla model and standard arrive with Autopilot and integrate the necessary equipment for general autonomous driving. However, it is worth remembering that this last method is still not approved in Europe and is available only under surveillance in six markets (USA, Canada, Mexico, Puerto -Riko, China, Australia and New Zealand).

As for performance, the Tesla model and standard are offered only in version with The back of the thrust And there is one step behind other models of the line in certain sections, such as acceleration. However, this promises a rather convincing performance.

According to the official technical file of the manufacturer, the cheap version will have a battery 69 kWh This will offer autonomy 321 miles under the EPA cycleThis is about 516 kilometers with direct conversion, although it is not yet known what is the measurement in the WLTP cycle. It is expected that these data will be confirmed when they are launched in Europe, which can happen very soon.

If we compare the range reported by another model and in the United States as part of the EPA cycle, the standard model is located next to the model and large autonomy with whole thrust, which reaches 327 miles. It also remains on model and performance (306 miles). Of which it lags behind with a big difference, from the model and a large autonomy with the rear thrust, which records an autonomy of 357 miles.

It is worth clarifying that with the debut of the model and the Tesla standard I took the opportunity to update the nomenclature of the great autonomy models. They will be called Model and prize RWD (rear thrust) and AWD (integral traction) in the United States, although the same thing, of course, occurs when a cheap version reaches other parts of the world.

In terms of acceleration, the Tesla model and standard is much slower than its brothers. What, of course, is not surprising, and that in the balance sheet, perhaps, is for those who are based on this version. Be that as it may, comparison from 0 to 60 miles per hour remains this way.

• Tesla model and standard: 6.8 seconds;
• Tesla model and award (rear thrust): 5.4 seconds.
• Tesla model and prize (integral thrust): 4.6 seconds.
• Tesla model and performance (integral thrust): 3.3 seconds.

Price and availability

The new model and standard Tesla will go on sale in the United States at a price 39,990 dollarsThe field, that is, is 5,000 dollars less than the price of a list of models and an excellent autonomy with a rear thrust, which starts with $ 44,990. In Europe, there are still no details regarding its price and launch date. Nevertheless, there are rumors that there may be official news soon. We will be attentive to possible advertising.
