On October 8, 2025 (Beijing Time), Tesla officially rolled out two refreshed entry-level variants: the Model 3 Standard and Model Y Standard. Priced at $36,990 (≈RMB 263,400) in the U.S. market, the Model 3 Standard undercuts its predecessor by $5,500, while the Model Y Standard starts at $39,990 (≈RMB 284,700), reflecting a $5,000 price reduction. Both models adopt a streamlined feature set, notably excluding the Autosteer function—a cornerstone of Tesla’s Autopilot system that enables automatic lane centering. This omission forces drivers to rely solely on basic cruise control unless they opt for Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) package at an additional cost.

Beyond driving assistance, Tesla has trimmed comfort and tech features to align with the “Standard” branding. The Model 3 Standard sheds front-seat ventilation and rear-seat heating, while the Model Y Standard loses its panoramic glass roof. Performance-wise, both variants retain a rear-mounted single motor paired with a 69kWh battery pack, delivering an EPA-estimated range of 321 miles (517 km) per charge. Deliveries in the U.S. market are slated to begin in the coming weeks, though neither model currently appears on Tesla’s Chinese official website.
