How Tesla Structures the Model Y Lineup

The 2026 Tesla Model Y is available in 6 trims: Base, Standard, Long Range, Premium, Performance, Long Range Launch Series. The Base is the entry point, and the Long Range Launch Series sits at the top of the range. All trims share the same platform and core engineering. What changes between them is features, comfort, and in some cases wheels and appearance.

Adjacent trims usually differ in tech and convenience features. Bigger jumps often include powertrain or capability changes. If you're still deciding between models, see the full Tesla hub. If you're not sure which trim level to target, our how to pick a trim guide and packages vs. trims breakdown can help.
