Model Y Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Model Y is sold in a short list of trims, and Tesla builds most cars to order rather than stocking dealer lots. That makes the price simpler to read than on most SUVs: you pick a trim, a few paint and wheel choices, and an interior, and the total follows. What changes the number most is the trim and the drivetrain, rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.

Tesla also adjusts its prices more often than traditional automakers do, sometimes without a model-year change. Treat every figure here as a snapshot and check Tesla's site for the current price before you plan a budget.

The 2026 lineup runs from Standard to Premium to Performance. Within Standard and Premium, you choose between rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is an upgrade on both: compare the Standard RWD and AWD rows, then the Premium RWD and AWD rows, to see what it adds.

• Standard: the entry point. Use it as the baseline for the lowest price in the range.
• Premium: sits in the middle and is priced above Standard in both drivetrains.
• Performance: the top of the range and the most expensive trim by a wide margin.

Because these rows are starting MSRPs, they do not include destination, taxes, registration, or any paid options.

Tesla charges a destination and order fee on top of the sticker price. It is the same flat charge whatever trim you pick, so it adds the same amount to the cheapest and the most expensive Model Y.

The two "with destination" rows show what the entry and top trims cost once the fee is included. They are the closer match to what appears on a Tesla order page before tax. The fee is a published line item. Tesla sells direct, so there is no dealer markup to haggle over in the usual sense.

Tesla's configurator offers paid choices such as premium paint colors, larger wheels, and a different interior color. It also offers driver-assistance software as an add-on. These options change from month to month and trim to trim, and the source for this page does not list them, so this page does not put a price on them. The configurator on Tesla's site shows the exact amount for each choice as you click.

Yes, and it can change within a model year too. Tesla has revised Model Y trims, names, and prices several times, and a car ordered this month may cost a different amount than the same car ordered last quarter. If you are comparing to a used or earlier Model Y, compare trims and features rather than the headline price alone.

The purchase price is only part of owning a Model Y. Plan for these recurring items:

• Insurance: premiums for electric vehicles can run higher than for similar gas SUVs, and they vary by driver, ZIP code, and trim. Get quotes before you order.
• Charging: home charging usually costs less per mile than gasoline, but you may need a charger installed. Public fast charging costs more than charging at home.
• Maintenance: electric vehicles skip oil changes, but tires, brake service, cabin filters, and wipers still need attention.
• Registration and fees: some states add an extra annual fee for electric vehicles.

Tesla offers loans and leases through its own site and through outside lenders, and rates change often. Monthly payments depend on credit, term length, down payment, and the rate at the time you order. Leases add residual value and mileage limits to the math.

Federal and state EV incentives have changed repeatedly. The data behind this page does not include a federal tax credit amount, so check the IRS and your state energy office for what applies to your purchase. Do not assume an incentive is available until you confirm it.
