That gets you the &#8220;Standard Range&#8221; all-wheel-drive version, with 279 miles of EPA-estimated range and a 5-second zero-to-60 mph time. Sadly, you can&#8217;t add the third row to this model. Instead, you have to choose the $49,990 Model Y Long Range. It has 330 miles of range and is marginally quicker than the latter version.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Getting into a three-row seven-seat Model Y Long Range will set you back at least $54,630 before taxes and any incentives you might qualify for.
