Tesla unexpectedly launched the Model Y, its popular crossover, in a new long-range version at the weekend. The improvement: a combination of rear-wheel drive with an enlarged battery that results in an official range of 600 km.

The new version is currently offered in several European markets including Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Spain And Germany. This version, when marketed in Israel, will cost about 265,000 shekels - about 20 thousand shekel more expensive than the base version. But no less important - about NIS 30,000 cheaper than the dual-drive LR version, which now also has a shorter range than it. The answer is probably again "because Tesla". The one she did in the Model 3. It is assumed that during the coming year it will introduce the renewed and improved version of the ModelY. The one that will be much more powerful. It will do it in 5.9 seconds, the maximum speed is 217 km/h. The price difference between the standard rear- wheel drive and the longer-range versions is about 4,000 euros.
