The 2024 Tesla Model Y has arrived in Australia with a few small changes and serious price cuts.
Reductions are handsome with the Standard Range down to $63,900 (-$1500), the popular Long Range AWD at $72,900 (-$5500) and the Performance now $82,900 (-$9120), all before on-road costs.
The latest price cut sees the Model Y reclaim the cheapest electric medium SUV accolade from the Hyundai Ioniq 5 Standard Range ($64,500, before on-road costs). It also drops the Performance below the luxury car tax threshold.

There are new paint colours and 19-inch ‘Gemini’ standard-fit alloy wheels for us, but the cloth-appointed dashboard and multi-colour ambient lighting added to Chinese market models last year are absent.
'Stealth Grey' ($2300), 'Quicksilver' ($2600) and 'Ultra Red' ($2600) are the fresh colours on the palette bringing the total choice to seven hues. Driving range (from 455km-533km WLTP) and performance are unchanged.
The Chinese market Model Y Standard Range is reportedly one second quicker to 100km/h, but Aussie electric SUVs remain at 6.9 seconds for the sprint.

Tesla lists the 2024 Model Y as available now on its website. The Model 3 Long Range was also subjected to a $1000 price cut, but the base Standard Range retains its $61,900 before on-road costs price.
The American electric carmaker may not be meeting targets globally, but in Australia the Model Y continues to be a stellar sales performer, out-delivering the Toyota HiLux ute last month.
