Tesla Model Y Trim Levels: Standard, Long Range & More

On the refreshed lineup, Standard is the straightforward entry trim. It has one rear motor, rear-wheel drive, a 321-mile EPA estimate, a 15.4-inch center screen and heated front seats, but fewer cabin upgrades than Premium.

No. Standard Range refers to an earlier entry version, including a 2021 rear-wheel-drive model rated at 244 miles. Standard is the refreshed entry trim, rated at 321 miles. Both are simpler rear-wheel-drive versions, but they belong to different eras.

On refreshed models, Premium adds a long-range battery, a larger 16-inch front screen, an 8-inch rear screen, ventilated front seats, ambient cabin lighting and a higher 250-kW maximum charging rate. Standard has a 15.4-inch screen and a 225-kW maximum.

Long Range focuses on distance, comfort and everyday use. Performance adds much quicker acceleration, dual-motor all-wheel drive and a sportier adaptive suspension. On refreshed models, Performance is rated at 306 miles and reaches 60 mph in a Tesla-claimed 3.3 seconds.

They are mainly two names for the richer long-range Model Y in the refreshed era. Tesla used Long Range earlier, then renamed that role Premium. Build timing still matters because Long Range examples may have rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

Launch Series was the limited first wave of the refreshed Model Y. It combines long-range all-wheel drive with special badging and included Full Self-Driving Supervised. The regular Long Range lacks the launch badging and bundled driver-assistance package.

Performance is the quickest trim. On refreshed models, Tesla claims a 3.3-second run to 60 mph. It also has dual-motor all-wheel drive and an adaptive sport suspension, making it the version most focused on acceleration and sharper handling.

A Long Range or newer Premium model is the natural road-trip fit. These versions prioritize driving range and use a 250-kW maximum charging rate on refreshed models. They also add more cabin comfort without the Performance trim’s speed focus.

Look for a dual-motor example rather than relying only on the badge. Performance and Launch Series use all-wheel drive, and many Long Range models do too. Some Long Range builds are rear-wheel drive, so confirm the drivetrain on the individual vehicle.

No. The refreshed Performance keeps everyday cabin features, including a 16-inch center screen and an 8-inch rear screen. Its main differences are stronger acceleration and an adaptive sport suspension, not the removal of family-friendly equipment.

In the refreshed lineup, Long Range, Premium, Launch Series and Performance have an 8-inch rear touchscreen. Standard does not. Earlier Model Y versions used the large front screen as the main display and did not follow this refreshed setup.

On refreshed models, Long Range, Premium, Launch Series and Performance have ventilated front seats. Standard has heated front seats instead. Earlier used Model Ys may differ because this trim structure arrived with the major refresh.

Yes, on refreshed models. Standard has a stated 225-kW maximum Supercharging rate, while Premium, Long Range and the other upper versions reach 250 kW. Actual charging speed also depends on battery condition and charging conditions.

The third row is not tied neatly to one badge across all years. It appeared on eligible non-Performance versions beginning in the early lineup. For a used Model Y, verify that the individual vehicle actually has the optional third row rather than assuming from its trim name.

Standard suits mostly local driving and buyers who do not need the richer cabin. A Long Range or newer Premium model is the better fit for frequent road trips, adding more range-focused hardware, faster maximum charging, larger screens and ventilated front seats.
