The automaker is giving up plans to launch a cheaper option because of its “unacceptably low” reach.

Tesla planned to offer a cheaper version of the Model Y, priced at around $ 39,000 and that would have a single engine, rear-wheel drive and a smaller battery.
However, the CEO of that company, Elon Musk, announced through his Twitter account that the launch of that car will be postponed for several months due to its “unacceptably low” range: less than 250 miles, about 400 kilometers.
No, as range would be unacceptably low (< 250 mile EPA)

That automaker still plans to produce a more affordable Model Y with a single engine, but one that has more range. For its part, the superior version, with four-wheel drive, will have a minimum price of $ 49,990.
Musk added that Tesla will launch Model Y in the coming months. Previously, he assured that it should become his best-selling car.
