HARDWARE VERSION GUIDE

Tesla's OTA software capability is determined by the hardware computer installed at the factory — not the model year or trim level. If you're buying used, check which HW version is in the specific car before purchasing.

OTA Updates Full OTA — FSD v14.x updates. All features available at US launch.

First and only US trim. Tesla currently includes one year each of FSD (Supervised), Premium Connectivity, and Supercharging plus free interior and exterior options. Offers may change or end at any time.

TL;DR

Cheapest Model Y L Launch Series — Only one trim available. At $61,990 it's pricier than Model Y Performance — wait if budget is a concern.
Value Model Y L Launch Series — Third row + 325 mi EPA + V2L for $62k. Solid value if you need the extra seats and don't want Model X money.
YOLO Model Y L Launch Series — It just launched — order now and be in the first US delivery wave.
The mistake? Buying in a hurry without checking whether a lower-priced standard trim follows the Launch Series — Tesla typically introduces more affordable trims after the initial launch.

5-YEAR OWNERSHIP ESTIMATE

Fuel Savings (5 yr)
$5,000-7,000 vs comparable 3-row gas SUV
Maintenance (5 yr)
~$2,500 (tires, wipers, cabin filter — no oil changes)
Insurance
Moderate; expect $2,000-3,200/yr (slightly above Model Y due to higher price)
Depreciation
Brand new US launch — resale unknown, but Model Y platform has strong residual track record
Federal Credit
N/A — federal EV credit expired Sept 30, 2025. Check state incentives.
Bottom Line
Launched at $61,990 Launch Series. Strong TCO potential — same low-maintenance Model Y platform with 3-row utility at roughly half the cost of a Model X.
