Tesla increases Model 3 and Model Y prices across the board again, adds new standard paint

November 5, 2021

Today, Tesla has updated its pricing for Model 3 and Model Y vehicles to increase prices across the board once more.

The automaker’s cheapest vehicle has now increased in price by over 20% this year alone.

Tesla prices have increased widely across the entire lineup in 2021.

Last month alone, there were two significant prices increases on Model 3 and Model Y.

Now Tesla is starting November with another based on an overnight update of its online configurator.

This time, along with the base price update, Tesla also changed the pricing of the paint options.

Solid Black costs now $500 more at $1,500 and Midnight Silver Metallic has been added as a standard option,

It means that Tesla now offers two paint colors at no additional cost: Pearl White Multi-Coat and Midnight Silver Metallic.

Tesla Model 3 Prices

Model 3 was hit the hardest in terms of price increases this year and this new price increase was no exception.

Here are all the prices of the different versions of the Model 3:

  • Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus: price went from $43,990 to $44,990
  • Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD: price went from $49,990 to $50,990
  • Tesla Model 3 Performance: price went from $57,99o0 to $58,990

Here’s what the updated online configurator looks like now:

The Model 3 Standard Range Plus, which Tesla recently started calling Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive, has now increased in price by 21% this year.

It was selling for just $37,000 earlier this year and now it goes for $45,000, up by another $1,000 today.

At least, buyers are getting a little more out of the vehicle with this price increase.

Sources familiar with the matter told Electrek that the base version of the model 3 will now come standard with a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats.

Tesla Model Y prices

  • Tesla Model Y Performance: price went from $61,990 to $62,990
