A hacker who is known in the Tesla community under the pseudonym "Green" claims that the investigation of the latest firmware updates has discovered detailed information about an upcoming cheaper version of the Model Y.The data is intended to provide insights into Tesla's plans for reduction in costs, which should produce the cheapest model of the American electric car company.
Hacker cracks software code and find details about cheap model-y, according to reports, the information comes from the latest software code.Tesla internally describes the simplified model as E41.According to Green, this is a stripped down version of the Model Y Standard Range, which means numerous compromises for equipment and comfort for buyers.

Specifically, the glass roof, the electrically foldable mirrors and the systems for tire pressure monitoring should be omitted.In the interior, the electrical seat adjustment is reduced to just one movement axis and ambient lighting is dispensed with.The sound system is also limited to a basic version.
No glass roof, no additional displays, less comfort further reductions include the waiver of a heating element for the reversing camera and the lack of aerial venue and a display for the second row of seats.Instead of high-quality materials, Tesla uses simple fabric covers and 18-inch steel rims.The changes also lead to a revised front section and simplified chassis components.

According to the current status, a completely new entry-level model as a separate Tesla series is no longer on schedule.Elon Musk had probably painted the originally announced electric car for $ 25,000 last year.Instead, there are sets on striked versions of existing models such as Model Y and Model 3 to reduce prices.
Cheap Model Y: According to the information from Electrek, Tesla is said to have produced the first prototype of the E41 in June 2025.The company is planning a market entry this year, but without name an exact date.Electrek suspects that the entry price could be around $ 35,000 in front of taxes, which would be around $ 10,000 cheaper than the current model Y. So far there is no information available for Germany.
