Tesla raised prices on three Model Y trims. The Model Y Premium all-wheel drive now costs $49,990 and the Model Y Premium rear-wheel drive now costs $45,990, each up $1,000. The Model Y Performance all-wheel drive rose $500 to $57,990.

Tesla's website, the increases apply to the listed configurations. The adjustments follow a pattern of selective price changes across the company's vehicle lineup. In August 2024, Tesla raised the price of its highest-end Cybertruck trim by $15,000. That increase occurred despite weak sales and ongoing recalls for the model. The recent Model Y adjustments reflect the same pricing approach.
