❤️ Tesla goes diet mode — meet the “budget” EVs
Elon’s finally thinking of us mortals: Tesla dropped stripped-down Model 3 and Model Y Standard. RWD, one motor, 516 km range — not bad, not brag-worthy. Fifteen minutes at a Supercharger gets you another 240 km. ⚡️
But oh boy, they cut deep — no fancy Autopilot, no glass roof, downgraded audio, no rear screen, basic LEDs, smaller wheels. Even the vibes went from “tech spaceship” to “smart toaster.”
Still, the price lands sweet: $38.6K for the 3, $41.6K for the Y. Deliveries start Dec 2025. Musk’s betting big on quantity over flash — maybe simplicity is the new premium.
