TL;DR

Cheapest Model Y L AWD — Only one trim available. US pricing TBD — est. ~$54,990 based on AU launch.

Value Model Y L AWD — Third row + V2L + 421 mi WLTP range. Strong package once US pricing confirmed.

YOLO Model Y L AWD — Get on the waitlist for the first US allocation if you need three rows without Model X pricing.

The mistake? Paying Model X prices for three rows — the YL should offer similar utility at a fraction of the cost once US launches.
