Tesla Prices By Model
If price is the most important factor when choosing a Tesla vehicle, then it makes sense to start with the cheapest in general. However, these prices can fluctuate throughout the year, so consumers may see a different price when looking to buy.
Tesla Model 3
Tesla’s Model 3 is the cheapest vehicle in the lineup overall, with the price set at $39,990 for the Standard Range Plus model. However, this is just the starting price, as Tesla does also offer the option to the Performance version, boosting the cost up from $39,990 to $56,990 in the process. This is also without taking into any further customizations that might increase the price, such as the color, wheels, interior and FSD.
Tesla Model Y
The next cheapest is the Model Y Long Range vehicle, priced at $52,990. Once again, this is the base version of the electric vehicle with the top-end model being the Performance version costing $60,990. Also again, this excludes any additional customizations that might be made during the checkout process, including color, wheels and so on.
Tesla Model S
Moving on up the price scale and the next cheapest option is the Model S which will set the buyer back a minimum of $84,990. This is for the Long Range version and those willing to spend more do have the option to the Plaid version. The Model S Plaid increases the price to $129,990, before the cost of any additional customizations the buyer adds are taken into .
Tesla Model X
Last up is the Tesla Model X and at $94,990 this is the most expensive standard model the company currently sells. Again, this is only for the base model with consumers able to the Plaid version, increasing the cost to $119,990. As per usual, this is also the base price for the version of the Model X and potential buyers will need to factor in the cost of any additional customizations.
Although the prices listed above are for the base models and likely to be higher based on customization options, it is worth keeping in mind that the cost may actually be lower as well. This is due to the various state and federal incentives and discounts that are commonly available when purchasing an electric vehicle. In fact, Tesla itself typically lists much lower prices as it not only includes these incentives based on the buyer’s location, but also highlights potential gasoline savings as well. As a result, the Tesla by model prices listed here should be thought of as the cash price for each vehicle, and subject to increase or decrease based on a variety of factors.
