Tesla has officially started building the new entry-level Model Y Standard at its factory in Berlin. Local production is set to trim logistics costs, make the model more attainable for European buyers, and bolster the brand’s image with a clear Made in Europe message.The Standard version is a rear-wheel-drive configuration with a WLTP range of up to 534 km. Tesla says it is the most energy‑efficient in the Model Y lineup, promising lower energy use and reduced ownership costs.On the outside, the car features redesigned front and rear sections, drops the Juniper LED light bar, and adopts classic dual headlamps. Inside, the layout is simplified yet neat: base Autopilot, 18-inch wheels with aero caps, and mixed-trim materials without a panoramic roof, a choice that improves heat insulation in hot climates. The overall spec leans toward function over flourish, which should resonate with buyers who value substance.In Europe, the Model Y Standard starts at €39,990—€10,000 less than the Long Range version, which begins at €49,990 and offers up to 622 km on a single charge.Targeted squarely at mainstream customers, this variant is poised to help Tesla regain ground in a European EV market that’s heating up, as Chinese manufacturers including BYD and Geely rapidly expand their footprint. The timing looks deliberate: a pragmatic, locally built model to meet a more demanding, price-sensitive stage of the transition to electric.
