What's the most sleepless thing in the car circle lately? I, Xiao Ba, will definitely cast a vote for Tesla. Why?

You can go take a look. Spy shots of the new Model Y are everywhere online. The key is, this is not some upgraded version at all. Instead, it looks like a "youth edition," or to put it more directly, a "beggar's edition."

Rumor has it the price has been driven straight down to $35,000. Converted, my goodness, this is poised for close-quarters combat with domestic new forces.

The light bar is gone, the wheels are smaller, is this still the Y I know?

At first glance at the spy shots, the full-width light band on the front face is gone. Yes, you read that right, it has been directly canceled, leaving only two lonely headlights.

Two crease lines have been added to the hood. Is that supposed to make it look more muscular? Why do I feel it's a bit of a return to simplicity?

The rear has also been altered. That fairly recognizable diffused-reflection taillight assembly? Goodbye to you. It has been replaced with a full-width taillight.

May I ask, is this following the crowd? Or has the designer run out of inspiration? I somewhat fail to understand this move.

In addition, the wheels have also been changed to 18-inch ones. Visually, it is indeed not as imposing, but small wheels really do save electricity. Is that considered an advantage?

Exterior changes are one thing, but the interior is the hardest-hit area of this "de-contenting."

Ventilated seats? Gone. Panoramic sunroof? Also gone. They even cut the small rear skylight for you. How are we supposed to get through summer? The sun blazing overhead, your backside soaked in sweat. The picture is too beautiful; I dare not imagine it.

The seats have also been changed from leather to fabric. Although some people say fabric is warm in winter and cool in summer, as for the premium feel, it has indeed come down.

Also, the number of speakers has been reduced, and the front row has become an open passage.

I took a look at a de-contenting list circulating online. The rear touchscreen, ambient lighting, and power seat adjustment functions may all be cut.

Tesla's move this time has too obvious an intention. It is trading price for market.

Everyone knows in their hearts how fiercely competitive the current EV market has become. Although the Model Y is competitive, its price has remained firm.

Now producing such a "standard version" lowers the price threshold and allows more people with limited budgets to reach it.

But here comes the problem.

In exchange for this price, sacrificing so many comfort features, will consumers really pay for it?

Don't people who buy Tesla buy it for that sense of technology and experience? Now that you're given a version that is "empty on all four fronts," do you still love it?

Personally, I think if this version really sells for just over 200,000, then it still has some lethality.

But if it is only 30,000 to 40,000 cheaper than the current model, then it becomes a bit awkward. After all, the configurations of neighboring domestic models have been stacked to the skies.

The manufacturer is also forced to do this. But I hope they don't narrow the road. Brand tonality is easy to lower, but once you want to raise it again, it becomes difficult.

Alright, that's all for today.

What does everyone think of Tesla's move this time? If such a "beggar version" Model Y really comes out, would you give up those features to save tens of thousands of yuan?
