is a crucial car for the bowtie team. The firm’s first ever electric SUV has to prove it can cut it against the mighty Tesla Model Y in a fast-growing EV segment that’s also contested by the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Volkswagen ID.4.
So the base Model Y for the U.S. is the Long Range, which costs $65,990. It’s also worth noting that neither the Chevy nor the Tesla are eligible for federal tax credits, and Ford is about to run out of credit allocation, which makes the VW the biggest bargain here and one you can buy now: the base Blazer won’t be in showrooms until early 2024, months after the other trim grades.
