It looks like Tesla’s streak of holding the line on Model Y pricing has ended. For the 2027 model year, the only SUV in the company’s lineup is seeing price bumps of up to $1,000 for U.S. buyers. The good news is base models still cost the same.
As Tesla investor Sawyer Merritt reported on X, the Model Y Premium had held the same price since 2025: $46,630 for the RWD and $50,630 for the AWD. Both now cost $1,000 more, at $47,630 and $51,630. Buyers who want more power and a little more fun in the twisty bits of their commute will have to pay $500 more for the Performance trim, which now starts at $59,630.
