It should be noted that the price is compared to the Tesla Y, which it states has a starting price of $41,190. However, a quick look at the Tesla web site states that the starting price for a Tesla Model Y is $50,990. The Ariya would be considerably cheaper. The closest Tesla in price is the standard range Model 3 at $37,990.

Author: there is not such thing as a <> kWh motor.

You are confusing power and energy units, and confusing battery capacity with drivetrain power.

I've come to expect this sort of ignorance on Faux news or NBC, but surely a tech website can do a little better ?

Tesla sells a standard range Model Y that is not advertised on the website. You have to call.

As for as comparing prices, the long range Model Y can sort of be compared to the 82 kWh Ariya. Then the MSRP prices will be similar. Your guess is as good as mine what lot prices will be for the Ariya, and tax credits may be different.
