How much is a Tesla? Your Guide to Tesla Prices
You’ve read about all the improvements to emerge inside and out of each current Tesla model as well as new versions that will be coming in the future, and you might be tempted to be a little bit more. Next, reality comes to the fore, and that old question turns on its head: “How much?” No need to click through to the multiple variants of each model on Tesla’s website, it’s all compiled here for you.
How much is a Tesla?
The information below provides the lowest and highest priced versions of each trim of each 2022 Tesla model to give you the full spectrum of how little… or how. Very… you have to spend.
Note that these prices are accurate as of the date of publication, but we will keep them updated. Stay with us as Tesla changes its prices frequently. In addition, all prices listed do not include an additional $1,200 destination and document fees, or federal or state tax credits.
Tesla Model 3 – Cheapest Tesla Available
As the most affordable Tesla by a decent margin, the Model 3 looks pretty attractive for 2022. Its standard range RWD trim starts at a purchase price of $46,990 with zero upgrades, and can go up to $63,490. The latter price includes every top feature available such as red paint, 19″ sport wheels, and the always-controversial full-self driving capability for $12,000.
The Long Range Model 3 starts at $54,490 and can reach a top end price of $70,990 when fully loaded.
Lastly, the Performance Edition of the Model 3 starts at $61,990 and can go up to $76,990 with 20″ berturbine wheels and all the other added features. Model 3 prices continue to fluctuate every couple of weeks, but you can save yourself some cash by getting yourself a pre-owned Model 3.
tesla model y price
As a very large EV, Tesla’s Model Y currently comes in two different options, both of which cost more than the Model 3. For the prices below, you’ll see the bare-bones option as well as a fully loaded option – like red paint, 20″ wheels, white interior, tow hitch, and $12k FSD capabilities – though not adding FSD. Selecting may affect your delivery date.
An important add-on to point out in all these high-end prices is the seven-seat interior for the Model Y. For an additional $3,000, customers are able to select the third line option as they order their new EV.
Note: This option is currently available only on the Long Range trim.
The Model Y’s dual-motor AWD Long Range trim starts at a base price of $62,990 and can go up to $83,990 with all the fixins. This higher price includes all the available features mentioned above.
The Model Y Performance drivetrain starts at $67,990 and increases to $83,990 when souped up (without the seven seats).
Recently, we covered the news that Tesla is preparing to launch a new AWD version of the Model Y that has a range of 279 miles. However, we don’t have any pricing on that version yet.
tesla model s price
Here is where things start to escalate really fast. Where newer Teslas like the Model 3 and Model Y combine performance with price, the Model S dominates nearly every category, but at a much higher price point.
For example, the dual motor Model S (the least expensive trim of the EV) starts at a price of $99,990 and can currently go up to $120,990 which includes add-ons like 21″ arachnid wheels and cream interiors.
Grab some because it’s “plaid” time. You may have already read how impressive the Plaid Model S is, but the bigger thing than its list of top specs is its price.
The Tri Motor Model S Plaid starts at a price of $135,990 with zero upgrades, not even exterior paint. In total, you’re looking at a purchase price of $156,990.
Originally, the Model S Plaid was priced at $10,000, along with the more athletic sibling of the Model S Plaid+. Unfortunately, Tesla plans to deliver the long-anticipated Plaid+ because, according to Elon Musk, the standard Plaid is “just too cool” and drivers don’t really need a range of more than 400 miles. As a result, the Model S Plaid saw a $10k price jump.
Given that no current Tesla model offers better than 405 miles of range, there’s still some room for improvement.
tesla model x price
Pound for pound, Tesla’s refreshed Model X SUV is the automaker’s biggest and most expensive EV, with AWD dual and tri motor drivetrains to choose from.
The Model X Dual Motor will cost you at least $114,990. Then it’s up to $143,490 with added bonuses like 22″ turbine wheels, cream interior, and a $6,500 up-charge for a six-seat interior that includes captain’s chairs. If you prefer a seven-seat row, it will cost $3,000 less.
Replace the new plaid version of the Model X if there’s a rear performance trim, which starts at $138,990 and ends at $160,990. The top end prices include all the most expensive features.
Like the Model S, the Model X also saw an increase of $10k after the disappearance of the Plaid+, and has since raised another $5k. New customers for the Model X Plaid aren’t scheduled to receive their EVs until fall, and dual motor reservation holders who order today are looking at a January 2023 delivery window. If you really are then the pre-owned Model X might be worth considering. One’s thirst
It’s more proof that the demand for Tesla EVs is still growing, no matter how much they cost. The automaker continues to dominate the EV market.
Pricing for the Tesla Cybertruck
Since the Cybertruck hasn’t rolled off the assembly line yet, the pricing isn’t as finicky. Nevertheless, the public was briefly offered an idea of the starting price for each of the three drivetrains. Each price listed included an additional $10,000 for full-self driving capabilities.
Originally, the single-motor RWD Cybertruck was listed on Tesla’s website for a starting price of $49,900. The dual-motor AWD option was $59,900, and the tri-motor AWD was set at $79,900.
However, production has been delayed again, and although we’ve seen a few prototypes rolling around, we no longer have a sense of what this EV will cost when it finally arrives. As of last October, Cybertruck’s price and specs are no longer listed on Tesla’s website.
The interest is still there, as the last number of reservations was over $80 billion (with ab) in value.
second generation tesla roadster
The next iteration of the Roadster was unveiled by Tesla in 2017 as an updated tribute to the EV that debuted it. Originally scheduled to begin production in 2020, Tesla has steadily lowered the new Roadster’s SOP to focus on its other EVs.
While we know very little about what the Cybertruck will actually be capable of, we know even less about the second-generation roadster.
According to Tesla’s website, the new Roadster is still available for pre-order, and costs only $200,000. Don’t worry though, you’ll only have to pay a fraction of it to keep your place… only $50,000.
If that’s not enough, Tesla is introducing its “Founders Series Roadster,” in what appears to be a limited production run costing $250,000. This version required the full amount within ten days of making a reservation, and has since sold out.
What is ‘value after potential savings’?
You may have noticed that the order page for any of Tesla’s current models lists both a “purchase price” as well as “Potential Savings After (Price)”. This pricing is referring to the original purchase price minus the potential savings of driving an electric vehicle.
Tesla has compiled its own database of resources state by state to help its customers calculate their potential savings, before they commit to buy. Additionally, you can tap or click the “Customize” link on any Tesla model purchase page.
This multifunctional tool helps estimate how much a potential owner will spend on gas over a six-year period, then subtracts that from the total. It gives potential Tesla customers a little texture as to what kind of bucks they can save by cutting the gasoline cable in the future.
Any state without the tax incentives listed can still provide benefits. You’ll only need to check the list on Tesla’s dedicated incentive page, which shows federal and state benefits in more detail.
It is also important to note that all incentives mostly apply to purchases by cash or credit. Incentives for customers leasing Tesla are currently only available in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, New York and Tennessee.
Is it better to lease or buy?
You’ve done the research, customized the Tesla model of your dreams, and calculated ballpark pricing after calculating the gas savings and tax incentives in your state. Good work.
Before you pull the trigger, you might want to ask yourself whether buying or leasing your Tesla would be a better option. The answer varies from customer to customer based on factors that we’ve compiled for you earlier.
wrap
Choosing a Tesla won’t be cheap, no matter how you cut it, but there are certainly a wide array of options available to you.
From the bottom-end Model 3 at around $49k to the top-end Model X Plaid reaching $161k, there’s something for any potential Tesla customer in this lineup.
