The 2026 Model Y starts at $41,380 for the base Standard trim and tops out near $58,880 for the Performance AWD, before options — five trims in total, each with a different range and drivetrain.
What each trim actually gets you
The lineup breaks down into five trims, according to Edmunds: Standard RWD at $41,380 with an EPA-estimated 321 miles of range, Premium RWD at $46,380 with up to 357 miles, Premium AWD at $50,380, and Performance AWD at $58,880 with a 3.3-second 0-60 time. A limited-production Launch Series is also available, built on the Long Range AWD with Full Self-Driving (Supervised) included standard. All figures include destination, per Edmunds.
What a spec sheet doesn’t tell you
Range and price don’t cover fit, finish, or the small day-to-day annoyances that only show up after you’ve actually lived with a car — that’s where an independent, hands-on review fills the gap a spec sheet can’t.
Ryan Shaw published a hands-on review of the 2026 Model Y on September 3, 2026, walking through his complaints and overall impressions after time with the car:
Shaw’s video reflects his own experience with one vehicle, not a defect pattern Tesla has confirmed — treat it as one owner’s take, and check the trim details above against your own configuration before you buy.
