The American electric car manufacturer is launching a new basic version of its crossover, for NIS 224,000, the price of its European and Korean competitors


In the first quarter of 2023, for the first time, Model Y became Tesla's best-selling car in Israel, at the expense of the cheaper 3, with 750 compared to 530 units, a process that already took place worldwide last year.

This is despite the fact that even after the discounts in January, the cheapest Y, the Long Range, was sold for NIS 270,000 while the basic 3 costs NIS 205,000.



Now the gap is closing: Tesla Israel has put on its website an option to order the Y at a price of only NIS 224,000, with the basic drive system of the 3: only rear drive instead of dual and a combined range of 455 km instead of 533 km, because Using a smaller battery, 57.5 kWh, instead of 75 kWh.

The performance is also less agile: 6.9 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, instead of 5 seconds.



As usual in Tesla, the price in Israel is shown in advance with extras, for example black color instead of white, and then the car costs NIS 231,000. Unlike the Model 3, which arrives in Israel from the Tesla factory In Shanghai, the Model Y arrives from its factory in Berlin.

The first cars from the discounted model will be delivered to customers according to Tesla between July and September.


The new price erases the price gap between the Y and other electric crossovers: the price of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 starts at NIS 214,000, the Skoda Aniac at NIS 215,000, and it is cheaper than the Volkswagen ID.4, whose price starts at NIS 235,000. And the Kia EV6, which starts at NIS 250,000.

However, all these competitors offer a longer driving range according to their manufacturer's data.



In February, Model Y was the best-selling car in Europe, and last year it was the first electric car to enter the list of ten best-selling cars in the world, in fourth place, with 759 thousand units.

Only Toyota Corolla (1.12 million), Toyota Rav4 (868 thousand) and Ford's F-series pickups (786 thousand) surpassed it.
