The Tesla at € 35,000 is revealed: it gives up (almost) everything except the logo

Tesla has not launched a really accessible model since Model 3. But the wait may be coming to an end. A video shot in California and several concordant leaks reveal the existence of a new Y model, designed to reduce costs to the ax. This model, identified internally under the name E41, swaps the usual refinements against a stripped recipe – without giving up the essential: the autopilot and the overall look.

Tesla prepares an affordable model … by sacrificing everything that is not vital

He does not yet have a trade name, but already circulates near Fremont. The Model y E41 externally resembles any Y, or almost: no panoramic roof, simplified front and rear lights, fewer sensors. And under the body, the austerity cure is confirmed.

Inside, exit the seats in high -end or ventilated imitation: Place with basic fabric. The rear screen disappears. The speakers are rare. Even the central console seems to be reviewed to save every penny. In short, a tesla disenchanted, almost spartan – but always electric and clad in hardware for The future Robotaxi network.

The objective? Lower the costs enough to offer a starting price around $ 36,000, excluding bonus. This would place this model stripped more than $ 8,000 under the cheapest version currently on sale.

Production would have already started in low volume in California, with a marketing expected in the fourth quarter of 2025. Elon Musk recently confirmed that This affordable model would not be a model 2 But a variation of the current model.

It remains to be seen whether customers will bite the hook. Because by climbing on comfort, Tesla certainly manages to cut the price … But also, perhaps, on the desire.
