Downing cars to reduce the price of asking is a decades old process. Tesla’s new model reduces enough features to reduce the cost of Wii Standard sticker, to 41.630, which is $ 5,000 less than the premium. You lose the next seat, the steering wheel, the hot back seat, and the eight -inch passenger display.
The surface of the entrance also carries light rods and hole wagon without leather surfaces. It comes with a bottom battery, a weak back motor, and small wheels. But what will happen to a glass roof? Well, things get strange from this place. Model Wii Standard still has a panoramic glass roof such as preir version, but you can’t see it from the inside.
The reason for this is that Tesla covered her with a headline. Confused? We are Apparently, it is cheaper to do this instead of re -engineering the model Y for the steel roof. It is understandable to refrain from designing and installing such a large body panel, at least to a certain point. Both Admundus And Car and driverThose who have received quick access to the standard model, confirm that the glass panel is still there. It is only hidden behind the fabric.
Surprisingly, adding a component like a roof liner can usually increase production costs. Although I am not an engineer, it seems more cost -effective except the roof. Especially since the model 3 quality exposes its glass roof. Not apparently.

According to AdmundusA Tesla engineer confessed that covering the glass roof with a headliner was really cheap. Car and driver It is also reported that Thathla has saved money instead of switching to metal. Motor trend It confirms that the glass is still there, but the roof of view is no longer there.
Motor 1 The comments have reached Tesla and will update this story if we receive a response. In the meantime, a proud explanation is that Tesla wants to encourage buyers to choose a more expensive premium term. Another possibility is that producing a headliner without cutting for glasses is just cheap. Then once again, making the same type of component in the higher volume usually leads to scale economies.
May be that we are losing something (Different glasses?), But it still looks like a strange move, even for Tesla. Whatever the case, we will not be surprised if Model Wii’s standard owners tear up the headliner. I know I am tried. You can see it for a short moment in the official video below 0:26.
