Tesla has increased the price of the Model Y in the United States, yet again.
This time, the price increases affect the Model Y AWD (with 4680 cells) and Model Y Performance, with changes happening on Friday, as spotted by @Tslachan. Check out the price changes below, with increases of $500 USD:
- Model Y AWD: $51,490 USD (+$500)
- Model Y Long Range: $54,990 USD (no change)
- Model Y Performance: $58,490 USD (+$500)
Just one week ago, Tesla increased the price of its Model Y Long Range by $1,500 and Performance by $1,000, but also decreased the price of the entry Model 3 RWD by $500. With today’s price changes, that makes for two price changes in February alone.
Delivery times are showing as March-May for the Long Range and February-March for the Performance.
Select Model 3 and Model Y vehicles qualify for a $7,500 federal tax credit. Those that haven’t purchased their vehicles are now in for some surprise price increases. Tesla also recently hiked prices in China as well for the Model Y RWD.

“yet again”? Get used to it. Tesla doesn’t have stealership issues and can raise and lower their prices on an hourly basis if they choose and most likely will continue to do exactly that…raise and lower their prices as they feel the need. It is a constant balancing act between supply and demand and as this is a rather unique advantage that they have over other auto makers, they should use it as often as they want.
