特斯拉CEO埃隆·马斯克确认，传闻已久的“低成本”新车将是精简版的Model Y。最新泄露的细节显示，这款更“实惠”的Model Y通过使用更便宜的材料和移除部分豪华配置来降低制造成本。例如，取消了玻璃车顶，用同色实心面板替代；前后取消了灯带；尾门反光条消失。内饰方面，移除了后排显示屏，座椅采用织物材质，并减少了扬声器数量。此外，还取消了衣帽钩、加热通风座椅和电动后排座椅等。与墨西哥版Model 3的精简策略类似，这款Model Y的最终市场表现将很大程度上取决于其定价，以及消费者是否认为其精简的配置物有所值。

💰 **成本控制下的配置精简**：新款低价Model Y主要通过使用更经济的材料和移除部分非核心豪华配置来降低生产成本。例如，外观上取消了玻璃车顶，用与车身同色的实心面板替代，同时前后保险杠的灯带和尾门的反光条也被移除，这些都直接影响了车辆的制造成本。

🛋️ **内饰舒适性与科技感的调整**：在内饰方面，为了降低成本，新款Model Y移除了后排娱乐显示屏，座椅材质从素皮改为织物，扬声器数量也有所减少。更值得注意的是，连衣帽钩等细节配置也被取消，体现了成本控制的彻底性。

🚀 **与现有车型及市场策略对比**：此次的精简版Model Y与特斯拉在墨西哥市场推出的Model 3类似，后者也采用了织物座椅和取消了后排屏幕。这表明特斯拉正在探索通过配置调整来推出更具价格竞争力的入门级车型，以吸引更广泛的消费群体。

💲 **价格定位是关键**：虽然特斯拉标准车型通常包含许多越级配置，但若新款低价Model Y能在价格上形成显著优势，即使配置大幅精简，仍有可能获得市场认可。然而，移除的这些配置是否能被消费者接受，将是其市场表现的关键因素，价格的吸引力至关重要。

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said during a Q2 earnings call last week that Tesla's long-rumored "lower cost" new car will, in fact, be a stripped-down Model Y. Now, the details about the upcoming car are leaking.

Tesla enthusiast Luca Presti (via Teslarati) shared a Chinese video on Saturday detailing some of the alleged changes to the more "affordable" Model Y.

Presti's list of differences compared to the currently available Model Y is quite long, but it boils down to using cheaper materials, as well as removing some of the more luxurious features to make the car less costly to manufacture.

By far the biggest changes on the exterior are lack of glass roof, which has been replaced by a solid panel in the same color as the rest of the vehicle, as well as no light bar on the front or back. The reflective part of the tailgate is also gone. And even though we've seen rumors of this version having a shorter wheelbase and less legroom, it appears to be roughly the same as the current Model Y in the video Presti shared.

Inside, the rear display has been removed, the seats are partially covered in textile (instead of vegan leather) and the number of speakers has been reduced. The center console is now divided into two parts. In what appears to be a particularly stingy change, even the coat hooks are gone.

NotaTeslaApp has put together a list of changes in the lower cost Model Y, which includes those that can't be seen in leaks, but includes stuff that's fairly easy to remove, such as heated and ventilated seats and power reclining rear seats.

Tesla already did something similar with the Mexican version of the Model 3, which also has textile seats and no rear infotainment screen. Whether the new, cheaper Model Y will be more widely available remains to be seen.

Whether such a stripped-down Model Y will be worth buying is another matter, and it largely depends on price. Tesla's standard models include a lot of premium features not typically seen on entry-level variants of competing vehicles, so Tesla can afford to remove some of these and still be competitive (at the right price). But if the leaks are accurate, this really is a heavily stripped-down Model Y, and the missing features might be a tough pill to swallow for some buyers.
