Pricing
It's all very simple for the time being: The Long Range costs £60,090 - while the Performance is priced at £67,990. Should Tesla bring more variants to the UK such as a rear-wheel drive Long Range and a Standard Range rear-wheel drive, these two versions would very likely be under £55,000. These prices seem to change every few minutes though, so check on the Tesla site for the latest! Also, be warned - the actual cash price is hidden at the bottom of the screen on the official site and the headline figure is something about £1,000 cheaper for no clear reason.
White is the only standard colour with all others costing £1,100 (or £2,100 for the multicoat red) while the self-driving tech is £6,800.
Running Costs
If you’re swapping from a petrol or a diesel into a Tesla Model Y, then you will be surprised at how little it costs to look after a Tesla. With fewer moving parts, servicing and maintenance costs are considerably cheaper on the whole, and while Tesla doesn’t publish serving costs a three year/36,000-mile service plan should be around the £500 mark when the Model Y eventually arrives in the UK.
Home charging will depend on an assortment of factors but as a rough guide we’d expect the Long Range, plugged into a 7kW wallbox, to cost around £10.50. On-street charging will be more expensive but you’ll likely be using Tesla Superchargers, and at 24p per kWh they’re reasonably priced.
