158 Comments Tesla prices have been falling all year, and today we’ve got another price cut to report on most trims of Tesla’s most popular models, leaving the Model 3 at the lowest price it’s ever been. Model Y – Long Range & Performance are $2K cheaper The Model Y Long Range and Model Y Performance are both now listed for $2,000 less than they were earlier today, with the Model Y Long Range going for $48,490 and the Model Y Performance going for $52,490 on Tesla’s website. Previously, the models started at $50,490 and $54,490 respectively. The change comes days after Tesla introduced the cheapest Model Y the US has seen, the new Model Y Rear-wheel drive, which starts at $43,990. That model was not subject to today’s $2K price drop, and remains at the same price it was introduced at earlier this week.

The Model 3 Rear-wheel drive and Long Range versions both get a $1,250 price cut, and the Performance model is down $2,250 from previous pricing. These models now start at $38,990 for the RWD, $45,990 for the LR, and $50,990 for the Performance model. Previously they sold for $40,240, $47,240, and $53,240 respectively. The new prices mean that with even modest state, local, or regional tax credits, on top of the $7,500 federal credit, a new Model 3 could cost less than $30K for the right buyer. This is the cheapest new Tesla ever, save the questionably briefly available $35K Model 3 – though between inflation and more tax credit availability now than at that time, today’s Model 3 is an even better deal than that one would have been. The Model 3 recently got a big refresh with lots of changes in foreign markets, though the refreshed “Highland” Model 3 is not expected to be available in the US until next year. So Tesla probably feels the need to sweeten the pot a little for buyers who might otherwise wait for the new version to come out.
