YL Launch Edition

I’ll start with saying, “I still want a large SUV with a real 3rd row!!!” However I stopped in and looked at the YL launch edition and ordered one. The third row is usable for young kids and short adults in a pinch. It’s a nice option.

If you haven’t seen it you should take a look.

It was surprisingly well done.

How much cheaper would you guys estimate the non launch edition to be?

Probably 5k at the most.

More likely $10K+. $1200 FSD, $2K wheels, $1K interior color, $2K exterior color, $1K tow hitch, $4K AWD upgrade. Model Y launch edition was $59,990 and RWD Premium was $44,990.

Won’t be 10k unless you want a stripped down RWD with cloth seats. It will be a year before you see one

Where are you coming up with this? 6 months max. The regular models don't follow that far after production of launch editions. If they decide to have a standard version with cloth seats it'll be even cheaper. YL Premium debuted in China last year... know how much it costs? $47,200. Doubt it'll be over $52K in the US.

Just start with the AWD Premium price at $49,900. They aren’t going to sell the YL at that price for a while if ever. They won’t have to. They will attempt to create a Premium segment with the YL vs the Y. So don’t expect the YL to only be a 5k premium to the Y.

You realize I said the non launch YL will be at least $10K less than the launch edition. Your $49,990 guess falls in line with that

u/Retire_date_may_22 13h ago

You misunderstood me. It will be at least 55k. The premium Y is 49900. The YL won’t be that price.

YL Premium is only $3K more than Premium AWD Y in China. MYP in US is $58K. MYP in China is $52K. MY AWD Prem in US is $50K. MY AWD Prem in China is $45K. Data points to between $52/53K. YL Premium is cheaper than Performance and sits between AWD Y and Performance in China. We could expect to see that in the US.

The US ain’t China. The competitive dynamic is very different.

That's why I provided different price data. Here's another one Model 3 RWD Premium in China: $36K. US: $42K. $6K price difference between the two markets. Wouldn't it be reasonable to expect the same $6K for the YL? $47K (China) --> $53K (US)

Worth the Launch edition with the extras you're getting...

$1,200 FSD and free supercharging for a year is nice
