Tesla raises Model Y pricing following federal tax credit change
Tesla’s Price Detour
What do rising costs, falling taxes, and an electric car have in common?
Well, for anyone curious about the new Tesla Model Y, it all comes together in a rather unfortunate way. After recent federal tax credit changes, Tesla has decided to raise the pricing on their Model Y in order to offset their losses.

So, to put it mildly, if you’re in the market for one of these electric cars, you might want to prepare to pay a bit more. However, don’t let this discourage you! With the extra you’re paying, you get some serious perks.
What you are getting with the Model Y:
- Advanced Autopilot with Autosteer and Autopark
- Full self-driving capability
- A sleek yet spacious design
- Superior riding comfort
- A smooth and powerful drive
- EPA-estimated range of 315 miles per charge
These are amazing features no matter how you look at them — worth every penny, tax credit or not! Not to mention, there’s something to be said for owning a car that’s (uncharacteristically) helping you do your part for the environment.
The unfortunate truth, however, is that electric cars have expensive parts and the rising costs are just something that the market has to bear. Plus, it’s not all bad news, since the inescapable taxes are also not something to ignore.
So, if you’re a fan of efficiency and futuristic style, then look no further than the Tesla Model Y – perfect for commuting, adventuring, or just looking good on the streets. And, don’t forget, no matter the price, you’re still getting a stellar vehicle.
Happy driving!
