Tesla rearranges its Model Y hierarchy by restoring the best autonomy to the AWD version of the catalog.
The consequences of the arrival of the Tesla Model Y Standard cascade through the American manufacturer’s lineup. First came the discontinuation of the Propulsion version, which had been the entry point to the Model Y universe. Now, Tesla needs to further prioritize the different ranges based on autonomy.
Why? To justify the value and make the offer’s hierarchy much clearer for the customer. Good luck explaining that a Large Range Propulsion — now called Premium Propulsion — costs 6,000 euros less than a Large Range All-Wheel Drive (now called Premium All-Wheel Drive), even though they offer nearly identical equipment… but with more range? The world turned upside down.

In practice, has anything really changed?
Tesla, as usual, does not communicate about these changes. But in its European configuration tool, the range of the Premium All-Wheel Drive has increased from 600 to 629 km. Symbolically, it now surpasses the Premium Propulsion version with its 622 km.
In reality, everything suggests that nothing has really changed in the Tesla Model Y, aside from the official specifications listed.
Initially, the restyled Tesla Model Y, scheduled for early 2025, was only available in the Launch Edition with 20-inch wheels. The manufacturer already communicated about this version, which has an autonomy of 600 km with these energy-consuming tires.
On the other side, the version still called Large Range Propulsion immediately displayed 622 km, to appeal to the broadest audience. It needed to show an improvement over the 600 km of the previous Model Y. With a gain of 22 km, or +3.6%, customers exclaimed about technological genius…
Today, Tesla must tidy up its offerings, finally displaying the homologation value of the Premium All-Wheel Drive (formerly Large Range All-Wheel Drive, are you following?), which served as the basis for the Launch Edition when fitted with 19-inch wheels.
And here comes the magic: the gain is now 29 km. Everything finally “makes sense”: the customer pays 52,990 euros (in France) and owns the top-tier Tesla Model Y… except for the Performance version, which is even more expensive. But that’s another story.
