Tesla has begun selling the Model Y Standard in parts of Europe, where it has lots of cheaper competition

Days after rolling out “Standard” trim levels of its Model Y and Model 3 in the US, Tesla has started selling the Model Y Standard in some European countries. Standard Model Ys begin at about €40,000, depending on the country, roughly €10,000 cheaper than the current Premium versions. In the US, Standard versions are about $5,000 cheaper than their souped-up peers. The model isn’t yet on sale in the UK or Ireland, where cars are driven on the left-hand side of the road.

While the Standard Teslas are cheaper, they pale in comparison to the many affordable EV options available in Europe, including those from China’s BYD, some of which start below €25,000. CEO Elon Musk has called Europe the company’s “weakest market,” blaming the lack of approval for Tesla’s Full Self-Driving technology for the shortfall.

Model 3 Standards don’t appear to be available yet in Europe.
