Replacing the existing Rear Wheel Drive variant, the Tesla Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive is built to offer maximum range at an accessible price. The single motor, combined with an energy-dense battery pack, standard heat-pump and low resistance tyres maximise efficiency and sets a new benchmark for cost per mile for electric SUVs.
With a standard electricity tariff 50c per kWh an owner charging at home driving 10,000 km per year would spend €800 on charging, compared to €1,400 on an equivalent petrol vehicle and even more savings with an overnight EV tariff*. With the new 600 km WLTPrange for Model Y, a single charge will sustain more than a week of commutes.
Making the World’s Best-Selling Car Even More Accessible
The introduction of this new variant is the result of our relentless efforts to bring costs down through economies of scale and innovative engineering. It also supports Tesla’s mission to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy and is designed to uphold strong residual values for the long-term buyer and support affordable monthly costs for hire purchases and PCP finance options.
Giving Customers More Options to Choose From
Made in Tesla’s Berlin-Brandenburg Gigafactory, the Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive includes everything that propelled Model Y as the world’s best-selling car in 2023. It comes with the highest level of premium materials, convenience, safety, and connected features included as standard.
Drivers can remotely pre-heat or cool their vehicle via the Tesla app, enjoy the comfort of a premium cabin plus studio quality audio system paired with streaming apps. Once the cabin temperature is set and favourite playlist is playing, the built-in Trip Planner will automatically show where to stop charging and for how long to reach the destination quickly, in total peace of mind.

*Electric vehicles are less expensive to fuel than petrol powered vehicles. Assuming an average of 10,000 kilometres and spends approximately €1,400 on petrol per year. In comparison, the cost of electricity to power Model Y over the same distance is approximately 2 times lower. Over the five year average length of car ownership, that’s up to €3,000 in petrol savings.
Assuming a fuel economy of 7.6 l/100 km for a comparable petrol powered car. We’ve also assumed the national average of €0.50 per kilowatt-hour for residential electricity (assumed for 100% charging) and €1.81 per litre for petrol over the next five years. Tesla efficiency values are based on Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive.
Comparison petrol vehicles are selected based on vehicle class, seating capacity and standard features. We use the WLTP estimated range standard to compare efficiency data between our cars and a comparable petrol alternative using each vehicle’s combined city/motorway MPG and MPGe ratings. Actual range may vary based on factors such as speed, weather conditions and elevation change.
Model Y consumption rating = 14.9 kWh/100km
Comparison car consumption rating = 7.6 l/100 km
