Tesla has commenced accepting orders for the budget-friendly Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) variant of the Model Y in the United States. Priced attractively at $44,990 (or just $37,490 after factoring in federal tax incentives), this model now stands as the second most affordable electric vehicle in Tesla's lineup, trailing closely behind the equally popular RWD Model 3. This strategic introduction is anticipated to significantly bolster Tesla's market presence in the US.
