Now a decode of the latest firmware for the Model Y reveals what Tesla is willing to sacrifice to create its cheaper SUV. And it\u2019s quite a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">0:02 \/ 3:21<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2025\/09\/20\/hacker-reveals-details-tesla-upcoming-stripped-down-model-y\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a story from&nbsp;<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2025\/09\/20\/hacker-reveals-details-tesla-upcoming-stripped-down-model-y\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Electrek<\/em><\/a>, hacker \u201cgreentheonly,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/greentheonly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">or just \u201cgreen\u201d<\/a>, is a regular and often accurate hacker who decodes Tesla firmware. The latest firmware release for the existing Juniper Model Y allowed the hacker to see&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/news\/cheap-tesla-model-y-coming-2025\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the cheap Model Y will be known as<\/a>&nbsp;the \u201cE41.\u201d It also, apparently, shows much more than the code or model-designation name. Indeed, it also details things Tesla removed to drop the Model Y&#8217;s price to make it more palatable to the masses. Outside, for example, there will be \u201csimplified\u201d 18-inch wheels that are controlled by a downgraded suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/news\/hacker-reveals-more-information-on-cheap-tesla-model-y\/photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a class=\"group\/card block w-full text-left @container\" href=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/news\/hacker-reveals-more-information-on-cheap-tesla-model-y\/photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/files\/6882b7ae4c07050002fab338\/033-2025-tesla-model-y-juniper.jpg?w=768&amp;width=768&amp;q=75&amp;format=webp\" alt=\"033 2025 Tesla Model Y Juniper\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strangely, the hack reveals there will be no tire pressure monitoring system,&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/how-to\/vemp-0906-tire-pressure-monitoring-system\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">but this is a legal requirement for all vehicles sold in the U.S.<\/a>&nbsp;since 2007 per the FMVSS Rule 138 and the TREAD Act of 2000. It\u2019s possible there won\u2019t be a stem-pressure monitor and the system will rely on wheel-speed sensors to estimate the pressures. This wouldn\u2019t be the first time an OEM would choose an indirect tire pressure monitoring setup, but it does come with some disadvantages. Key among them is the risk of installing a tire that is just a bit too big or small and thereby throwing the system off, while such a setup overall will not be as accurate as direct pressure monitoring. Other exterior feature losses exposed by the hack include no glass roof, no puddle lamps, no power folding mirrors, a new front fascia, and a backup camera that doesn\u2019t feature a heater to clear ice and defog its external lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/news\/hacker-reveals-more-information-on-cheap-tesla-model-y\/photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a class=\"group\/card block w-full text-left @container\" href=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/news\/hacker-reveals-more-information-on-cheap-tesla-model-y\/photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/files\/6882b78dbdc7b70002d495bd\/018-2025-tesla-model-y-juniper.jpg?w=768&amp;width=768&amp;q=75&amp;format=webp\" alt=\"018 2025 Tesla Model Y Juniper\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside,&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/reviews\/2025-tesla-model-y-long-range-awd-first-test-review\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">further downgrades are equally as drastic<\/a>&nbsp;with a simplified audio package being listed as \u201cessential\u201d and \u201cessential with commodity,\u201d but no further details were discovered as to what those two options mean. There will also be a lack of the \u201cair wave\u201d in the center console, which&nbsp;<em>Electrek<\/em>&nbsp;says will likely mean second-row passengers will not get airflow control, nor will they get a display for controlling anything else. Further, the headliner will be simplified and made of fiberglass, there will only be footwell lighting in the cabin, and the seats will see only a single-axis control. We&#8217;re not sure if this means the cheap Model Y will get manually adjusted front seatbacks with powered forward and aft positioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/news\/hacker-reveals-more-information-on-cheap-tesla-model-y\/photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a class=\"group\/card block w-full text-left @container\" href=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/news\/hacker-reveals-more-information-on-cheap-tesla-model-y\/photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/files\/6882b76b4c07050002fab32f\/002-2025-tesla-model-y-juniper.jpg?w=768&amp;width=768&amp;q=75&amp;format=webp\" alt=\"002 2025 Tesla Model Y Juniper\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So it seems this will be a true, stripped-down Tesla Model Y. As for what it means for pricing, that hasn\u2019t been confirmed and probably won\u2019t be revealed by a firmware hack. As of right now, the cheapest new Tesla Model Y is the Long Range RWD at $44,990. With everything that has been removed for the cheapo version, it might be possible for Tesla to drop the price by nearly $10,000 to get it to the promised $35,000 MSRP. We&#8217;re interested to see how long the company will sell it for, considering the cheapest version of the Cybertruck\u2014the single motor RWD\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/772205\/tesla-cybertruck-rwd-discontinued-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">was dropped recently after no one bought it<\/a>. But the smaller Model Y is a much better fit than the larger Cybertruck is for most people looking to get an EV on a budget, so there is a chance the company could sell enough examples to make it available for quite some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Hacker Decodes and Reveals More Information on the Upcoming Cheap Tesla Model Y SUV This hack reveals the inexpensive version of the Tesla Model Y will come with reduced features to create a cheaper baseline vehicle.Justin BannerWriter MotorTrend StaffPhotographerManufacturerPhotographerSep 22, 2025 Teased for well more than a year, the cheap Tesla model was revealed [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4300,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4299"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4299\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4301,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4299\/revisions\/4301"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
