Giga Texas Now Producing Standard Model Y: Launch Series No Longer Required 

Giga Texas churning out non-Launch Series Model Y: Price drop imminent?

Interesting development out of Giga Texas drone footage shows non-Launch Series Model Ys piling up. Does this mean the long-awaited, more affordable trims are finally on the horizon for North America? Given the Launch Series hefty price tag including mandatory FSD, many have been holding out for the base and LR AWD versions.

If the standard Model Y follows international pricing, we could be looking at prices significantly lower than the current Launch Series. Could this trigger a price war in the EV SUV segment? Or will Tesla maintain the premium and bank on the updated features to justify the cost?

Also, with production now seemingly underway in Texas, when will Fremont follow suit? Any Fremont drone pilots out there with recent footage?

What are your price predictions for the standard RWD and LR AWD Model Y trims in North America? Are you more likely to buy now that a less expensive option may be available? Let the speculation and debate begin.
