Expect versions mentioned by Moravy to become available priced way below the Launch edition. As a benchmark, pricing for the current (non-Juniper) RWD Model Y in the U.S. starts at $44,990 before federal tax credit and $37,490 with the credit (before taxes and fees). And $47,990 and $40,490, respectively, for the AWD Y.

Tesla often introduces new products with a “Launch Edition,” which typically features unique upgrades and options exclusive to the first 1,000 or so vehicles off the production line. The new Model Y’s Launch Edition costs $59,990, which is $4,000 more than a similarly equipped Long Range All-Wheel Drive model.

Tesla plans to launch the Performance and seven-seater variants of its best-selling Model Y later this year. The automaker is tight-lipped about what to expect, but the launch of the Model 3 Performance hints at what might change between trims.

Tesla executives talked about new Model Y 'Juniper' variants on Monday. The new models are expected to be less expensive than the current Launch edition

If any Tesla has become ubiquitous, it’s the Model Y, the company’s most affordable SUV. Boasting a spacious cabin and enough range to make it an easy choice as a daily driver, the Model Y benefits from the company’s constant over-the-air updates aimed at making the car better than when you first bought it.
