The day before the launch of the new Tesla Model Y Standard in Europe, an intriguing phenomenon was taking shape: the disappearance of Propulsion.
We should have been alerting ourselves: how was it that the Tesla Model Y Propulsion had, as of Thursday, October 9, 2025, completely vanished from the Tesla France new car inventory stock? A quick check on other European markets showed the same. Something strange was happening…
The very next day, the Tesla Model Y Standard indeed appeared in the manufacturer’s catalog on the Old Continent. And for customers, the choice or opportunity to buy what they consider a more suitable car, the Propulsion, was gone.

Debates will continue for a long time on Tesla fan forums. Comments are sharp, with some regretting the introduction of a low-cost line, others that the “real” Model Y is now too expensive, etc.
It’s true that for 5,000 euros less on the bill, the Model Y has greatly lost its appeal compared to the Standard. As for the rest of the lineup, it’s time to update the terminology.
The Propulsion has disappeared, long live the Premium Propulsion. This is much better known by its previous name, Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive. Its price remains unchanged, at €46,990 in France, to benefit from the CEE Bonus.
The Long Range All-Wheel Drive has become Premium All-Wheel Drive Transmission, and its price is set at €52,990. Finally, the Performance version now tops the lineup at €61,990.
Will we see the Tesla Model Y Propulsion reappear soon? Of course, at least to clear out stocks. Tesla likes to create confusion and steer customers towards its choices. In a few days or weeks, the Propulsion will return to inventory quietly, as stocks are enormous.
Proof of this is that Tesla still has not cleared its nearly one-year-old Model Y stock. Admittedly, the lack of European homologation doesn’t help, but the American manufacturer hasn’t been very clever… or perhaps again too arrogant. It’s a matter of opinion.
No matter: if the Model Y Standard doesn’t appeal to you, wait a few weeks, and the Propulsion will return for a final run.
