Tesla slashed the price of Model Y and Model 3 inventory units. Some consumers might consider the inventory prices a good deal, considering Tesla delivery estimates. Others might hold out a little longer for custom builds.
The price decreases vary depending on the variant, configuration, and location. Tesla’s inventory filters the Model Y and Model 3 units available based on zip code, making delivery quicker and more convenient.

Initially, the same Model Y unit was priced at $55,990, and now its costs $55,430.
Tesla’s inventory is limited in terms of variants. Most units in stock are base variants, like the 2023 Model Y Dual-Motor AWD. A red Model Y AWD is listed in the Bay Area with a $51,970 price tag. Its initial price was $52,490. Meanwhile, another red Model Y AWD in Central California went from $51,490 to $50,980.
