The 2026 Tesla Model Y Standard RWD (Juniper) is an SUV in production since 2025. It features a single motor (permanent magnet) RWD powertrain. EPA-rated range is 321 miles with 129 MPGe. It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 6.8 seconds. Top speed is 125 mph. Manufactured at Fremont, CA / Austin, TX / Shanghai / Berlin.
The Juniper refresh gave the Model Y its first full redesign since 2020, and the Standard RWD sits at the bottom of the lineup as the entry point. It skips the LED lightbar that spans the front of the Premium and Performance trims, giving it a cleaner, simpler face. Rear-wheel drive and a standard battery keep the price accessible.
Inside, all Juniper trims share the redesigned dashboard and improved materials, though the rear passenger screen and ambient lighting are reserved for Premium and above. The Standard doesn't feel cheap; it just doesn't have the AWD hardware or the larger battery. For city drivers and suburban commuters, it's all the Juniper you need.
