Simplified model Y "E41" that was sighted live now appears in the firmware too. They will have two audio options: "essential" and "essential with commodity" Backup camera would lose a heater no "airwave" in console E41 fascia (performance will also get a fascia update)

simplified fiberglass headliner simplified cabin lighting (footwell only) simplified seat controls (single axis) no power mirror folding no puddle lamps no glass roof no second row display no tpms simplified 18" wheels

Suspension is also a downgrade I think And btw these are just the new downgrades in addition to other already existing (or past) barebones options I imagine (like no radio and such)

as I am looking more into it: there's going to be RWD and AWD trims. Both have special motor configurations, though no idea what the motors would be. Let's see if may be I can get internal renders next.

@greentheonly Have you seen anything regarding the ModelY L for Europe? My Family got to big to fit in the 5 seater, and the X is to expensive and not sold anymore in Germany....

@greentheonly How can they remove TPMS when that’s a requirement from NHTSA?

@greentheonly Unless theres major driveline changes (smaller battery, new motor with no rare earths) are these small part deletes going to make that big of a different to the price? How cheap can they make it without serious fundamental changes?

@greentheonly Are you saying that E41 will have a Performance variant?

@greentheonly in your experience, how long from this kind of code to production of the vehicle? When will we see this car, could it really be next month?

@Tr0110wski typically they premiere it non special factory branches, and then eventually it lands on the main branch (e..g that was the story with the model y refresh and model 3 refresh and such). So it's almost like they are already making them in significant volumes for all I know.

@greentheonly Any chance this is just a cheap Y variant for Robotaxi?

@greentheonly I bet e41 fascia means it doesn’t have the middle light bar, which may honestly look better imo.

@greentheonly Anything on battery size and motor power

@greentheonly No backup camera heater is odd, the rest makes sense

@greentheonly To my opinion Tesla's product quality also continues to decline every year, mainly to save money. ☠️ I think the only Model Y manufactured to high standards is the one in Shanghai, which achieves about 90% of the optimum. 😎

@greentheonly If they want this entry model to succeed it has to be $10K cheaper than the current Y

@greentheonly And the price difference 🤔

@greentheonly And there it is!

@greentheonly Interesting

@greentheonly @grok summarized please.

@greentheonly This is the upcoming Mexico export

@greentheonly $35k for stripped Y? Is this really what we needed? 🧐

@JeebsTX may be not you, but may be some people with limited income are really looking forward to something like this. Or not. We'll see what the sales data less us once the sales begin.

@greentheonly Let’s say they price it at $35k… I would NOT be a buyer! Maybe it’s a good fit for future @robotaxi network fleet! 🤠
