Meanwhile, according to a recent report by CarBuzz, the Model Y Standard Range was also spotted by a Tesla hacker that goes by the name "greentheonly" in a software update of the EV maker.

The media outlet said in its story that sighting could be the cheapest Tesla Model Y-just in the nick of time as EVs have been increasing their prices.

Although it is to note that the Model Y used to have a Standard Range, the Tesla CEO then announced that it will only be available "off menu" due to its limited range.

So, the Model Y Long Range became the cheapest offering, which carries a price tag of $62,990.
