Tesla has added a cheaper Standard Range model of the Model Y to its lineup with an EPA estimated 244 miles of range.
The rear-wheel-drive Model Y Standard Range starts at $43,190.
A new seven-seat configuration is now available on the Standard Range and Long Range for $3000.
Tesla’s Model Y electric compact crossover has added a cheaper Standard Range model with an EPA-estimated 244 miles of range, the lowest driving range of any Tesla available, despite CEO Elon Musk tweeting in July that the model was dropped because of its sub-250-mile range. And it’s still not the cheapest Tesla you can buy. That is currently the Model 3 Standard Range Plus, which starts at $39,190 and has an estimated 263 miles of range. The Model Y Standard Range starts at $43,190 and is available to order now.

The Model Y crossover is based on the Model 3 sedan, and it shares its chassis and interior. However when we tested a Long Range Model Y, we found that its ride was rougher and its handling wasn’t as good as the Model 3’s. The Model Y is offered in two other versions: Long Range (EPA-estimated 326-mile range) and Performance (303-mile range), both dual-motor models with all-wheel drive. The newly introduced Standard Range model is rear-wheel drive.

Tesla has also added a third-row option to the Model Y, announced at the crossover’s launch last year, and it’s available for $3000 on both Standard Range and Long Range models. On the Model Y, the option can be had with an all-black or black and white interior, and it adds two seats in the rear with third-row USB-C outlets, a sliding second row, and electronic flat folding releases in the trunk. We expect headroom to be fairly tight in the available third row, though its dimensions haven’t been announced.

Chevy shows off the upcoming 2022 Bolt EUV’s infotainment system, which has what the company is calling a Power Flow screen that gives information on power regeneration through braking.
The interior of the upcoming Bolt is far darker than that of the current Bolt EV, with a more traditional layout and use of buttons.
The 2022 Bolt EV and Bolt EUV will go on sale next summer.
Chevrolet has shared a video on Twitter of the upcoming 2022 Bolt EUV’s Power Flow screen that gave us a peek at what to expect from the larger Bolt crossover that’s headed to market in late 2021.

Chevy Teases Silhouettes of Upcoming Bolt EVs

Deep Dive into the Chevy Bolt EV’s Infotainment

Chevy Bolt EUV Will Be a New Electric Crossover

In the video, we see the typical EV animation highlighting a vehicle’s battery either sending or receiving energy from the motor. The layout of the infotainment system is different from what’s in the current Bolt EV, with a more minimalistic array of onscreen controls below the Battery Power feature. For example, the large green band of color for Energy that took up the left-hand-side corner of the current Bolt’s display has now been replaced with a single leaf situated next to controls for navigation, phone, media, and the home button.

Below the screen, the climate controls have been moved off the same angled plane as the display and have shrunk considerably from the large buttons and knobs found in the current Bolt.
The controls and dash in general in the video no longer have the white and dark-gray color scheme, instead opting for a more subdued darker look. Off in the distance, we see the instrument panel which, like the infotainment system, has a darker color palette.
What we see in this teaser is far from groundbreaking, at least in appearance. However, the Bolt EUV will be the first Chevy product and first EV to feature Cadillac’s Super Cruise hands-free driver-assist technology. GM says the 2022 Bolt and Bolt EUV will be in showrooms in the summer of 2021.
