Tesla Increases Model Y Prices By $1,000, 3% Increase On Inventory Cars

Prices for the Model Y were apparently stable for long enough, so now it’s time for a change.

Tesla Model Y Design Studio lists three versions of the Model Y and prices all of them were increased by $1,000 (compared to initial pricing revealed at the unveiling) to stay in line with the rest of the lineup.

The new prices in the U.S. are:

  • Performance – $61,000 (Fall 2020)
  • Long Range AWD – $52,000 (Fall 2020)
  • Long Range RWD – $48,000 (Fall 2020)

At the current stage, we don’t know yet whether the Standard battery version (not yet listed in the shop) will be increased by $1,000 from $39,000 to $40,000 too.

It’s expected that previously placed orders for the Model Y (before the price bump) will be honored. Anyways, with at least 1.5 years to first deliveries, prices will most likely change a few more times.
