The Model Y is now a bit more expensive, while the Model 3 is a bit less expensive.
Tesla recently once again adjusted its electric vehicle prices in the United States. This time, the changes concern the Model 3 and Model Y, while there are no changes to the Model S and Model X prices.
Let's recall that Tesla applied a major price reduction accross its lineup on January 12 (see details at the bottom of this post), and then increased the price of the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD by $500 in late January.
Now, the entry-level Tesla Model 3 RWD becomes $500 less expensive, while the Tesla Model Y cars are a bit more expensive: the Long Range AWD version by $1,500, while the Performance version by $1,000.
Those are minor changes, announced after the government officially confirmed that the Tesla Model Y is eligible for $7,500 federal tax credit, under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), with a price cap of $80,000. This concerns also other crossover/SUV models (Cadillac Lyriq, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Volkswagen ID.4 to name a few), which previously weren't always classified as SUVs, which limted the cap to $55,000.
Tesla officially says that all new Model 3/Model Y vehicles qualify for a $7,500 federal tax credit for eligible buyers.
"New Model 3 and Model Y vehicles qualify for a federal tax credit for eligible buyers. This credit amount is in effect for deliveries until March 2023."
In other words, if we subtract $7,500 from the Tesla Model 3/Model Y prices, customers are still getting an outstanding offer, compared to the prices in 2022.
