Tesla’s never-ending price adjustments continue with another tweak, applied in the beginning of May in the United States, as well as in some other markets (including Canada, China, Japan).
This time, the change related solely to the Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y is a very tiny one – an increase of $250 across all versions, which is listed on the company’s website in the US. That’s probably less than 0.1 percent, so it’s marginal from the customer’s perspective.
Let’s recall that on April 19, the company lowered the prices of Model 3/Model Y quite noticeably (by $2,000-$3,000). Meanwhile, on April 21, prices of the Model S/Model X duo increased by $2,500 (following an earlier reduction by up to $5,000).
Below, we listed the latest changes.

- RWD: $40,240 (up $250 from $39,990)
- Long Range AWD: not available (expected to be available again in 2023)

* Tesla adds a Destination fee (DST) of $1,390 and an Order Fee of $250 to all its models ($1,640 total).
** Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are eligible for the $7,500 federal tax credit, aside from the Model 3 RWD version, which is eligible only for $3,750.
In the case of other markets, in Canada prices of the Model 3/Model Y increased by about $222 ($300 CAD), in China prices increased by about $289 ($2,000 CNY), and a similar change was applied in Japan – $269 (37,000 JPY).
We would not be surprised if a tiny change would also be reported in Europe, as things appear to be very dynamic.
If we now take a look at the prices (for new orders), it turns out that the effective cost (deducting obligatory costs and federal tax credit) of a new entry-level Model 3 is $38,130. For the entry-level Model Y, the effective cost is $41,380.
