If you missed out the chance to order one, Tesla has a few Launch Series models waiting for their first home

• The Model Y Launch Edition is available for $52,490 with a $7,500 federal EV tax credit.
• All Launch Series models include the Acceleration Boost for a 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds.

In late January, Tesla rolled out the updated Model Y in the U.S. market, kicking things off with the limited-run Launch Series. This version was only available for a few months before the standard Long Range AWD version of the refreshed lineup followed.

If you missed your chance to grab one, there’s still hope, as at the time of publishing, at least 18 are listed in Tesla’s U.S. inventory. We’ve been keeping an eye on the numbers, and it looks like Tesla continues to quietly add more every few days. Apparently, the company didn’t manage to sell through all of its special edition Launch Series models, which isn’t all that surprising considering the recent dip in its overall sales.

A deeper dive into Tesla-Info’s current listings shows there are 117 examples of the 2026 Model Y sitting in inventory, ready for delivery without the need to go through the usual wait tied to custom orders. Among them, 18 are Launch Series editions, all listed at the original $59,990 sticker price. That drops to $52,490 if you qualify for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit

Buyers can choose between Quicksilver with 20-inch Helix wheels or Pearl White with the standard 19-inch Crossflow wheels. While the Launch Series came loaded with every major option included, Tesla still allowed some flexibility when it came to selecting colors, wheels and other select features. However, every model in this batch includes the Acceleration Boost and Full-Self Driving capability as standard equipment.

These models are scattered across several states, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Washington, among others.

All Model Y Launch Series models come equipped with dual-motor all-wheel drive and are rated for an estimated 327 miles (526 kilometers) of range with the 19-inch wheels, or 303 miles (488 kilometers) with the larger 20s. With the Acceleration Boost activated, they’ll go from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in a quick 4.1 seconds with rollout, and reach a top speed of 125 mph (201 km/h).

Is the so-called Juniper Model Y better than the car it replaces? According to early reviews from both owners and journalists, the answer seems to be yes. The new Model Y is reportedly quieter, smoother to drive, and just looks more polished overall. Whether you’re a Tesla fan or not, there’s a growing consensus that the refreshed model is a strong step forward.

Whether that justifies paying the premium for the Launch Edition really comes down to how much you value the standard features it includes. Technically, it saves you several thousand dollars compared to optioning out a standard Long Range AWD model, something that isn’t true for all the other inventory units currently available. If not, the standard LR is a much better value even if you miss out on the Acceleration boost that’s not yet available.
