Tesla Model 3 and Model Y EV prices fall in the accessibility game

Tesla shuffled its deck of price cards once again overnight, and this time the Model 3 and Model Y it came out a little cheaper than before. The automaker’s website shows that the 3 Standard Range Plus sedan now costs $ 36,990 and the Standard Range Model Y is priced at $ 39,990. For the electric sedan, it’s a $ 1,000 price cut, while the electric SUV is now $ 2,000 cheaper.

As prices fall for basic EVs, they rise to the top of the Tesla line. In price shuffling, the Model 3 and Model Y performance variants cost an extra $ 1,000. You’re looking at $ 55,990 for Model 3 and $ 60,990 for Model Y if you want the fastest EVs. All prices are before a $ 1,200 destination fee and potential incentives.

Tesla tends to make price changes without much notice, if any. Interestingly, this small price cut occurs when Chevrolet reveals that it is much cheaper Bolt EV, along with a new variant “Electric utility vehicle”, or EUV. For the Bolt EV hatchback, it costs $ 31,995 now and the more Bolt EUV it costs just $ 3,000 more. Chevy is not the only one looking for a slice of Tesla’s blockade in the EV market, however, and Tesla is more than likely aware of the target on his back.
