Tesla has taken the $41,990 Model Y All-Wheel Drive off its US order page, nine months after adding it. TeslaNorth found the trim missing from the US configurator on 12 November 2026, and Electric Vehicles and InsideEVs confirmed it the next morning. Tesla has not announced the change, and the order page gives no reason.
The cheapest dual-motor Model Y that US buyers can now configure is the Premium All-Wheel Drive at $49,990, which is $8,000 (19%) more. Including destination and order fees, Tesla lists it at $51,630 before taxes. The Model Y AWD has not vanished completely: on 13 November, Tesla's US inventory page still showed units at $42,990 and $43,990, each rated at 294 miles.
A short-lived entry point
Tesla added the Model Y AWD on 2 February 2026 at $41,990, between the rear-wheel-drive Model Y and the Premium versions. Tesla rated it at 294 miles (473 km) of EPA range and 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds. Sendil Palani, Tesla's vice president of finance, called it "the lowest priced AWD vehicle we've ever sold in North America by a significant margin".
It used the same battery as the single-motor Model Y and had the shortest range in the line-up, 54 miles less than the rear-wheel-drive car, InsideEVs notes. The EPA had rated a 2027 model-year Model Y AWD at 294 miles in a record dated 3 November, nine days before the trim was pulled, according to Electric Vehicles.
The US Model Y line-up now
| Version | Price | EPA range | 0-60 mph |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive | $39,990 | 348 mi (560 km) | 6.8 s |
| Model Y Premium Rear-Wheel Drive | $45,990 | 355 mi (571 km) | 5.4 s |
| Model Y Premium All-Wheel Drive | $49,990 | 327 mi (526 km) | 4.3 s |
| Model Y Performance | $57,990 | 306 mi (492 km) | 3.3 s |
| Model Y L Premium (six seats) | $61,990 | 332 mi (534 km) | 4.4 s |
Prices exclude destination and order fees. Figures are from Tesla's US design page, as listed by Electric Vehicles on 13 November.
Deliveries slip into 2027
The configurator also pushes deliveries back. For a Seattle address, TeslaNorth found January to March 2027 estimates for both Premium versions and February to April 2027 for the six-seat Model Y L, a month later than in mid-October. In September, the two entry trims still showed December to January.
These are estimates for the configurations checked, not promises to every buyer, and they do not show why the dates moved. European buyers have seen the same pattern: Tesla's European configurator has quoted first-quarter 2027 delivery on the Model Y since early October. None of the reports describes a change to Tesla's European order pages.
Part of a thinner line-up
The cut follows a run of removals. It comes six months after Tesla built its last Model S and Model X. On 6 November, Tesla paused orders for the cheapest Cybertruck as it prepares to wind down the pickup to make room for the Cybercab, and by 10 November the $109,990 Cyberbeast was the only Cybertruck that could be ordered.
For US buyers who want all-wheel drive on a budget, the choice is now an existing-stock Model Y AWD while inventory lasts, or the Premium AWD with a longer wait and a higher price.
