New Tesla Model Y launches in the U.S., estimated deliveries in March

Tesla has formally launched the new Model Y in the United States. The vehicle is designed to be more comfortable and more efficient than its best-selling predecessor.

A look at the Model Y’s configurator shows that deliveries of the new Model Y Launch Series in the United States are expected to start in March 2025.

New exterior updates:

• The new Model Y is the first significant update to the all-electric crossover since its initial launch in 2019.
• As noted by Tesla, the new Model Y features a more aggressive, redesigned exterior that improves aerodynamics. 
• This gives the new Model Y better range, performance, and longevity.
• Updates to the vehicle’s wheels, tires, and brakes, as well as a retuned suspension, also pave the way for a smoother ride.
• The new Model Y includes eight exterior cameras, including one in the front bumper that has a self-washing system.
• For now, the new Model Y in the United States is only offered in Stealth Gray, Ultra Red, Pearl White Multi-Coat, and Quicksilver paint. Glacier Blue, which is offered in vehicles supplied by Giga Shanghai, is unavailable in the United States. All new Model Y Launch Series paint options in the United States are free.

New interior updates:

• The significant updates to the Model Y are even more prominent in the interior. 
• Similar to the reengineered Model 3, the front row seats of the new Model Y are ventilated.
• The second-row seats of the new Model Y power folding, and they are electronically adjusted.
• Thanks to acoustic glass all-around, the cabin of the new Model Y is extremely quiet.
• Tesla also promotes “invisible speakers” in the new Model Y cabin.
• The new Model Y also features a single, physical stalk, unlike the reengineered Model 3 sedan.
• The Model Y Launch Series is equipped with 15 speakers and one subwoofer, which should provide a great listening experience for occupants of the revamped vehicle.

Deliveries and pricing:

• So far, the Model Y Launch Series is only offered as a Long Range All-Wheel Drive variant with an EPA estimated range of 320 miles per charge. The vehicle is also listed with a 0-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds.
• The Model Y Launch Series Long Range AWD is priced at $59,990 before options. This price already includes FSD.
• The vehicle could also be leased for $699 per month with a down payment of $2,999 (36 months at 10,000 annual miles).
• The new Model Y Launch Series is expected to start deliveries in March.
