Tesla reduces Model Y prices, now starts below $50,000

[tacobell fan]

Tesla has reduced the price of the Model Y starting price below $50,000, and it has updated the Performance version.

As a surprise move today, Tesla is reducing the price of the Model Y, the automaker’s latest vehicle by $3,000 — a significant price drop for a vehicle that came to market only a few months ago.

Since its launch, Model Y has only been offered in two versions: Long Range Dual Motor AWD and Performance.

However, the Performance version was available with or without a “Performance Package” that adds several features:

• Increased top speed from 145mph to 155mph
• 21’’ Überturbine Wheels
• Performance Brakes
• Lowered suspension
• Aluminum alloy pedals

With the update today, Tesla is now making the package standard on Model Y Performance orders — now starting just below $60,000:

This new configuration is in line with what Tesla did with the Model 3 Performance version.

For the base version, the Model Y Long Range Dual Motor, Tesla is reducing the price to $49,990.

It’s a $3,000 price drop from the $52,990 price that the base version of the electric SUV had since its launch in March.

Now the same version of the Model 3 is only $3,000 less expensive than the Model Y, which was originally supposed to be about $5,000 more expensive than the smaller Model 3 depending on the configuration.

Last quarter, Tesla also decreased Model 3 prices across the lineup.

The automaker didn’t explain why it was reducing the price of its new electric SUV today.

Tesla just gave would-be Model Y buyers an unexpected treat: a sudden price drop. Electrek has discovered that Tesla lowered the cost of a Long Range AWD variant by $3,000 to $49,990 before taxes and incentives. The electric crossover still isn’t a trivial purchase at that price, but it might be easier to justify if the earlier price was just a little too hard to swallow.

There are perks if you’re willing to spend more, too. The Performance trim (priced at $59,990) now includes the previously optional Performance Package as standard. That nets you a higher 155MPH top speed, 21-inch wheels, upgraded brakes, a lowered suspension and aluminum alloy pedals. You will take a hit in range due to those wheels, down from 316 miles on the Long Range to 291 miles, but this saves you money if you were already set on getting a maxed-out Model Y.

We’ve asked Tesla for comment. A cut like this makes sense, though. Tesla has a habit of reducing prices as production and economies of scale improve, and the COVID-19 pandemic has had a disastrous effect on car sales — even if EVs represent a rare bright spot. Cuts like this, as well as earlier price drops for the Model S and Model X, could keep Model Y sales humming even as the pandemic continues and the car’s initial novelty wears off.

To be honest, it is not a wise idea to pay 38k and buy a single motor low range. $50k is a not bad deal at all. There is no point for Tesla to market base model for a version that competes to Audi Sports Q5 or BMW X5 segments.
