Tesla often introduces new products with a “Launch Edition,” which typically features unique upgrades and options exclusive to the first 1,000 or so vehicles off the production line. The new Model Y’s Launch Edition costs $59,990, which is $4,000 more than a similarly equipped Long Range All-Wheel Drive model.

This is what the auto industry calls a mid-cycle refresh — cosmetic and tech updates meant to keep an aging model competitive.

Tesla Model Y arrives with a sleek redesign, enhanced comfort, and performance upgrades. With new lighting and a rear screen, it's more attractive and functional than ever. But is the upgrade worth it,

The Model Y is also seven inches taller and two inches longer overall. Both vehicles seat 5, but rear passengers will be far more comfortable in the Model Y. If you really need to pack people in, the Model Y Long-Range AWD model has a third-row option for two extra seats.
