Another day, another Tesla price adjustment. This time both the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y have had some of their price’s change, but not all the prices went down.
The most significant change comes to the Model 3 Standard Range Plus which will now start just under $37,000, getting closer to that famous $35,000 price that its less equipped sibling hit in the past. The price drop further expands the price range of Tesla’s following the $10,000 increase in the Model S/X refresh and announcement of the Model S Plaid+. As you will see, however, the price drop was not seen across all the trims.
- Standard Range Plus: $36,990 (was $37,990)
- Long Range: $46,990 (no change)
- Performance: $55,990 (was $54,990)
So while the Standard Range received a $1,000 price cut, the Long Range did not get any change and the Performance version actually saw a $1,000 increase. The price adjustment now puts a $10,000 gap between the Standard Range and Long Range and a $9,000 gap between Long Range and Performance, ensuring that a customer must really be committed to trim of choice. The price changes potentially are also a result of the small refresh that happened to the Model 3 at the end of last year.
The Tesla Model Y also received a similar arrangement of price adjustment, but with a more aggressive price cut to its cheapest trim.
- Standard Range: $39,990 (was $41,990)
- Long Range: $49,990 (no change)
- Performance: $60,990 (was $59,990)
Once again this widens the gap between every step up in model. The price cut of the Standard Range Model Y now brings it into the sub-$40,000 club. Just like the Model 3, the Model Y has also been receiving some small updates that the Model 3 has been getting, so that could be one of the reasons for the price change.
My condolences to whoever bought the Standard Range Model Y as soon as it dropped.
