Also available in Canada now. Though with all this "I will hurt my voters worse! No, **I** will hurt mine even more!" pissing contest there is a chance that I won't be able to get a new Tesla to replace my current 2024 MYLR (lease)...

cadium 2025-04-04 18:17

Yeah, seems demand may be low with people looking at their 401ks. I wonder when they'll start offering discounts. They also added a new paint color, the old black with speckles.

Angry-Vegan69420 2025-04-04 18:22

Damn RIP Induction wheels

xSimoHayha 2025-04-04 18:49

How much more range will rwd only have?

feurie 2025-04-04 18:54

What pissing contest? One politician is being stupid and a bully. Everyone else just isn’t putting up with it.

feurie 2025-04-04 18:55

I honestly hate the Helix 2.0, mostly the color.

feurie 2025-04-04 18:55

Probably the same percentage increase in range last years model got.

vadimus_ca 2025-04-04 19:00

Another one mostly cares to get elected so he acts like there is no tomorrow. And if you did not know the tariffs hurt the buyer directly (and then the seller indirectly) and reciprocal tariffs are considered harmful in a long run. There are better ways to stand up to the bully than by punishing their own.

mflboys 2025-04-04 19:05

Also looks like the "include gas savings" toggle is off by default now. Not sure how long ago that happened.

cookingboy 2025-04-04 19:12

My 401k is turning into 201k at this rate lmao

Many_Application3112 2025-04-04 19:12

The Launch edition had FSD as part of it and this one doesn't? If that's the case, isn't this one more expensive if you were to purchase FSD with it?

DraconPern 2025-04-04 19:15

Can Tesla change the price later because of more expensive tariff inputs?

damonlebeouf 2025-04-04 19:20

tesla changes pricing from day to day with no announcement during a normal economy. they can charge whatever they want.

Maconi 2025-04-04 19:24

Looks like Launch was around $6000 USD cheaper if you max it out.

Kinda_Lukewarm 2025-04-04 19:37

After I sank my entire portfolio into 5/16 puts I can finally afford one. But I still won't buy one.

yhsong1116 2025-04-04 19:53

Yes this was widely known that launch edition was a good deal if u were to get all options

yhsong1116 2025-04-04 19:53

Yup not a bad deal lol includes

_casshern_ 2025-04-04 20:01

If you just get FSD as an option then it’s still cheaper than launch edition. But if you were to get all options (tow hitch, $2000 colour, white seats, etc.) then the launch edition would have been cheaper.

Many_Application3112 2025-04-04 20:02

Thanks. That's what it looked like to me. I'm not used to "early adopters" getting the better deal, so that's pretty unique in my experiences with buying "tech".

szzzn 2025-04-04 20:11

About to put in my order for one in Stealth grey with the black rims and white interior. Selling my 2024 MY to Carvana for $32K and putting $14K down on the new MY. My monthly payment is going to go up by about $100/mo but I’m all in on this new one. Pre-approval said they’d approve as high as $1,850/mo which is absurd, I’m only gonna need like $550/mo bro.

Whale_Poacher 2025-04-04 20:18

Good. It’s useless

Tupcek 2025-04-04 20:37

didn’t include tariffs. In Europe launch edition was more expensive

Tupcek 2025-04-04 20:38

I think this already includes it

decrego641 2025-04-04 20:39

I’d point out that reciprocal tariffs on someone tariffing you also reshape future trade agreements with other countries that are more open to positive trade relations. For instance, the United States is alienating *all* of its major trade partners, resulting in an overall lessening of long term options for trade they’ll have. Canada is putting reciprocal tariffs on the US, pushing the country to increase trade with China and the EU over more domestic US trade. Is it a long term harmful strategy in both cases? I’m not sure. The US, yes it’s very harmful long and short term. For Canada, it’s harmful short term but long term it’s definitely plausible if not outright definite that they could have better trade partners than the US has been or could be in the future.

_GloryKing_ 2025-04-04 20:50

Tesla can always change the price later

pauerplay 2025-04-04 20:54

What ever happened to the highest model debuting first (or at least the same time)? Maybe the sheer volume is just too much to ignore with Y but I hate that there’s no performance option yet.

matthew19 2025-04-04 21:21

Gotta subtract about 2,000 off of that if you count the opportunity cost of that 8k in FSD going into a 4% bond for 6.5 years.

Opposite-Knee-2798 2025-04-04 21:23

Nah

Opposite-Knee-2798 2025-04-04 21:27

my brother in Christ this is not a Camry

JayMo15 2025-04-04 21:28

Couldn’t have been long. Wife and I upgraded her 3 in Nov 24 and it was still enabled.

johnnyma45 2025-04-04 21:50

Just now and just for Ys. Still on for model 3

ctzn4 2025-04-04 21:57

I think it was still there a couple weeks ago when I checked Model 3's pricing. Must be a new change with the Juniper Model Y.

ParksNet30 2025-04-04 21:58

Waiting for long range RWD

feurie 2025-04-04 22:03

No because we’re comparing two vehicle that both paid for it.

protos_levendis 2025-04-04 22:04

Yeah, but they forced them into paying more. Tesla probably still made a bigger margin on the launch series.

feurie 2025-04-04 22:05

Please share with everyone your foreign policy mastery of what Canada should have done other than retaliating and strengthening bonds with other countries.

feurie 2025-04-04 22:05

Why couldn’t they?

feurie 2025-04-04 22:06

The price today is the price today. It doesn’t have to include or exclude anything.

Runningforthefinish 2025-04-04 22:14

What about vandal protection package?

mflboys 2025-04-04 22:20

On my end it’s off by default for 3 as well.

ProperSauce 2025-04-04 22:21

Wait where's glacial blue?

icrackcorn 2025-04-04 22:32

Nah, it’s the same deep blue metallic as the old Y

Linton_M 2025-04-04 22:57

Yes it’s ridiculous. One of the reasons why I’ve strayed away from Tesla for the time being. I wouldn’t care if I was being paid to charge a Tesla, I want to know how much I have to pay at the time of purchase

wtfredditacct 2025-04-04 23:04

I'd be willing to bet they took the most popular options and went with that as their baseline for the launch. The pricing is pretty in line with retail or just under.

arctander 2025-04-04 23:33

A friend just purchased a new 2025 Y (not the newest body style) for less than $35k after incentives and discounts. Just an FYI.

johnnyma45 2025-04-04 23:35

Sorry I meant the $7500 tax credit is on by default

Pock41 2025-04-05 00:09

Tesla canceled our order for the Launch series as well as another person we work with without giving reason. I guess we now have to select the options we want on the LR AWD or have our money refunded. For us is kinda a wash because we weren't getting the 20" wheels but fully optioned out the LS would have saved money. Would have still been nice get the Launch series random extras.

Known_Clothes2331 2025-04-05 02:39

Ok? FYI there aren’t any new old stock left….

ponyboy3 2025-04-05 02:41

lol so like toggle it off? Silly

knine71551 2025-04-05 02:48

I asked someone at the dealership. Price is only locked in at time of delivery. Otherwise this is just a promise of a car - a pre order not a contact for that amount (from what I heard)

Faile-Bashere 2025-04-05 03:30

Launch Edition only.

Hoopoe0596 2025-04-05 03:34

They should have an "increased insurance premiums" button as well to make it fair.

Fearless_Working985 2025-04-05 04:09

For who though? If you switch from a 4 cylinder Toyota Camry that might be true, but the price is pretty comparable to my other car which has a ttV6

ProperSauce 2025-04-05 04:09

Glacial blue wasn't available for launch edition in the US

SkyHighFlyGuyOhMy 2025-04-05 04:10

Well you happen to be smart on multiple levels. Congrats on the puts! Which car models are you considering?

justakcmak 2025-04-05 05:36

No thanks

Michael-Brady-99 2025-04-05 06:13

I was hoping to get a Juniper this year but now my Model 3 is worth a whole lot less. Disappointing.

I would have thought the range would be better by now.

zeparadoxe 2025-04-05 11:28

No one wants to buy a Tesla anymore. I'm stuck with my Model S, don't want to be associated with Tesla ever again, but can't sell it even at a discount, no one is buying. Car dealerships don't want it either. It's now the car with the worst resale value ever. Think about it before buying.

jeffrabin001 2025-04-05 11:42

What year and options on that s. Considering buying used as I love the car but not interested in buying from them till they oust musk.

sauceavelli 2025-04-05 12:17

Those types of comments scare me about the internet lol. It'll take less time for that person to fix the issue he was speaking on than it did to post that comment lol

skeet_scoot 2025-04-05 12:47

I find it useful to see how much I’d be saving, but I don’t love it on by default. I drive ~3,500 miles a month. Gas savings definitely matter to me.

Qs9bxNKZ 2025-04-05 14:30

You are just asking too much. Most cars lose 30% day one off of the lot. And $0.50/mile thereafter. The only holding of price is if the release cycle for a new model is long. Since Teslas constantly update ( eg swivel center screen or new camera layouts ) odds are your vehicle is dated.

SouthBone 2025-04-05 14:44

Just traded in my 22 Model 3 for a C8 corvette, corvette insurance was almost half what the 3 was

I'll take your S. What are the specs?

redrockwinner 2025-04-05 16:15

Some out there, just not listed on the Tesla website. You can use tesla-info to find those older Ys.

Schnort 2025-04-05 16:32

Are you sure they’re being insured the same? Your corvette might be “weekend pleasure driving” and not “daily commute”.

Gibec89 2025-04-05 16:51

Is the one with acceleration boost coming later? If so how much more is it?

[deleted] 2025-04-05 17:21

Acceleration boost is software, meaning any Model Y that is out at the moment will eventually receive this as an option to buy.

Seeing the new byd cars coming out just makes new Tesla stuff depressingly mid

Maconi 2025-04-05 22:20

No choice in the US. Dunno if we’ll ever get to see a BYD, NIO, XPENG, Xiaomi, etc.

Fearless_Working985 2025-04-05 22:34

Demographics for who owns model 3s, where you are, what your age is, and cost of repairs all goes into it. I suspect it's because they are more likely to total out a Tesla if theres any real damage. Look at Lincoln, all of mine had 200-300 premiums (per month) because of who own and drives them where I live. It happens.

SouthBone 2025-04-06 01:52

Yea its the same coverage no restrictions. its $580 a year for 250k/500k coverage model 3 was 1100 ish

SouthBone 2025-04-06 02:08

Agreed that the demo for the Corvettes is a little weird when it comes to insurance, its probably also the reason its easy to find older low mileage examples for sale

OldSchoolAF 2025-04-06 02:14

Going from Tesla to Tesla makes that toggle extra misleading.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWVWVW 2025-04-06 03:56

bd7349 2025-04-06 13:28

Same I wish they'd black them out at least. They totally clash with the rest of the car's design.

skotywa 2025-04-06 14:23

Sentry mode has been there for 5 years now. Vandalize a Tesla at your own peril.

skotywa 2025-04-06 14:30

When will they offer existing owners the ability to transfer FSD to a new model Y? As soon as they do, I'm buying. It's a beautifuly redesigned vehicle. I like it so much more than the cyber truck. Folks have said they usually offer to transfer FSD in quarter-end promos. Do you think they will offer it in June or will I need to wait another quarter?

HettySwollocks 2025-04-06 15:01

I wouldn’t mind the juniper y, the extra head height and space would be useful - particularly those auto folding seats. Elons antics put me off and as others have said that IRL range could be an issue

Both-Procedure-6365 2025-04-06 17:48

Don’t support musk

dudeman_chino 2025-04-06 21:13

As the supercharger network expands, range is less of an issue. "Better range" is generally less necessary/relevant now than ever.

Federal-Ad-7157 2025-04-06 21:17

I don't disagree. The charging network is great. The ranges need to be closer to 400+ miles to make long road trips more feasible for most people. I take my family on long trips with our model Y often. Sometimes that extra little bit of range could be the difference between having to sit at a charging station with a long wait versus going a little further to the destination or a different charging station.

Kind-Mousse294 2025-04-06 23:31

Plus it now comes with the mobile connector included

dudeman_chino 2025-04-07 00:56

Fair enough. You're not alone, but generally speaking i stand behind my claims. Also I trust that Tesla has run the numbers and analyzed market data and have logically arrived at their current numbers based on their findings. Theyre trying to maximize production rate, minimize cost, maximize margin, maximize consumer satisfaction simultaneously, which can't be easy, and also can't make everyone happy.

1startreknerd 2025-04-07 03:36

Been driving EVs for 14 years, it's extra annoying and useless.

Efficient_Smile_8321 2025-04-07 03:53

I'm calling BS. I looked into a C8 and all of the insurance companies wanted almost $2k a year. A GTR was even worse. I have a perfect driving record and over 40 years old. This is for 100/300/150 full coverage.

Efficient_Smile_8321 2025-04-07 03:56

The average American drives 40 miles a day. That's it. There is literally zero reason to make a larger battery pack just to add weight and haul around reducing efficiency. For the 0.01% of people that need that range, they should look into a ICE vehicle.

Efficient_Smile_8321 2025-04-07 03:59

Yeah...I'll believe it.

Efficient_Smile_8321 2025-04-07 04:01

20" tires are much more expensive. You should take that into consideration.

LoudBathroom1217 2025-04-07 05:38

Tesla gotta do something about there range man. Mercedes ev’s ranges is 390.

Akrelion 2025-04-07 11:32

He is not wrong tho: March 2024: 34556 March 2025: 18529 And Volkswagen or Audi Numbers are up in 2025, so its not a general thingy.

HipHopGrandpa 2025-04-07 11:37

Well, for the “long range” model, there’s more than “zero reason” to increase the range. Most people don’t need a long range model, granted. But for those that do, that should be an option. We don’t all live in L.A. The U.S. is huge and the network is still needing expansion in some regions.

HipHopGrandpa 2025-04-07 11:38

lol, you’re sad you can’t buy a Chinese car? Save yourself the heartache and watch them crumble on YouTube. Q.C. is abysmal.

HipHopGrandpa 2025-04-07 11:41

SaturnSurvivor 2025-04-07 12:00

I'm not well versed in this, but the APR is pretty bad, correct me if I'm wrong. 5.6% or something. Financing is the only way I could get this car, and I was ready, but idk. I know how naive it is, but I thought maybe the APR would be better. I might still eat it, but could it get better in a few months?

Kinda_Lukewarm 2025-04-07 13:42

Oh I'm just gonna hang onto my current car while the economy recovers, never know when you might become unemployed

SouthBone 2025-04-07 19:50

Lol, I got lucky and got in some weird policy. My old agent attempted to see if she could get me an even better rate and best she could do is double what I currently pay. She was the one that got me into this plan. My 03 H2 is 540 a year and wifes Blazer is oddly $1050. Aside from that if you go to a corvette forum and search insurance alot of them are fairly cheap. They also offer NCM (corvette museum) insurance that looked cheaper. Most of the online quotes i did looked like what you got tho.

mhathaway1 2025-04-12 18:44

You have no idea how bad depreciation is right now with Tesla. My 2023 Model Y is worth $22k with only 27k miles on it. Bought new in January 2023. Two years old and its MSRP was $70k. That’s close to 70% depreciation after just two years.

Qs9bxNKZ 2025-04-12 18:57

Naw. Trade in value at Tesla is not the same as what it is worth. I guessed 30% off plus $0.50 a mile and assuming you have a $70K with 27000 miles that would be down on those two factors alone subtract $34K or $37K in value. Head over to Carmax.com and type in “Tesla model y 2023” and I see 93 in total or for performance, 20 listings. Sort the 20 by mileage and it’s either $38K or $37K for the 24K or 31K So take off 10% and that’s about what you can get from Carmax or sell of FB/CL. Damn, I’m good.

mhathaway1 2025-04-12 18:59

I went to carmax and carvana to get quotes for mine. I don’t care what they’re asking for inventory. I only care what they are offering me on my 2023 Model Y 7 seater. $22k is the highest quote I can get.

Qs9bxNKZ 2025-04-12 19:02

What YOU can get is not what the value of the vehicle is. I’m simply telling you what it was valued at. I’ve had cars that have had accidents (lower value) or ones that are in demand (higher price). But only the former dictates the value. Value is dictated by what it is worth and what it can be sold at. A trade in is not value, a wholesale nor auction price either. Value is what you will get by placing it onto the open market (including the above channels) and being able to sell it for. $37K is reasonable. $33K will result in sold on a private market.

mhathaway1 2025-04-12 19:02

Misleading people carries more weight than a toggle switch bro. And misleading people is EXACTLY what it was doing. Otherwise, why put it there?

DickBenson 2025-05-04 14:33

Looking at my purchase receipt, the base Model Y is $34k, and the long range was a $14k additional add on. Is that how their receipts always reflected the price? If not, it sounds like that cheaper model y is coming closer to reality.

ptunxlp 2025-07-12 05:32

Tesla’s design looks like a rip-off of Hyundai.

ptunxlp 2025-07-12 05:34

Maybe the rear looks this bad because they didn’t copy Hyundai?
