Model Y Lease Price is Increasing

It increases and goes down over and over past few months

End of quarter: lower price Beginning of quarter: higher price This happens every quarter now that production is higher than demand.

Okay, I wonder how good the sales will be with those numbers lol $23,000 plus tax and reg for a lease.

Seems odd they are ending this on the 26th. Does this hint that there will be another offer from December 27-31? Maybe 0% APR on purchases?

Tesla doesn’t want to be stuck with these in three years

Good question! Do you think they would? I’d pull the trigger on 0%. The only challenge would be you have to accept by Dec 31st or at least that is the restriction in the current y lease offer!

What’s the point of rewriting the message that’s already on the screenshot?

I’m not sure but I’ve read that they typically offer some incredible deals at the end of the year. I’m debating if I should lease now or wait and gamble to see if they offer anything better. Decisions…

Thought it would be easier for people to read it in the screenshot or post. But now that you mention it, I get the point that looks redundant (and dumb). Learned for the next one!

Tesla's taking the bold strategy of increasing prices amid declining sales. Lets see if this pays off for them, Cotton.

You can get 0% APR on the Y now.

They need time for accounting to add to quarterly report

I have a Toyota lease ending in June. Was really tempted to jump on the current M3 deal of $299 and lock it in, although that mean I’d be on the hook for the remaining payments of my Tundra still. I did see that they are also increasing the M3 lease (I would assume by a similar amount as the MY) on Dec 26. Anyone think I could snag a similar deal like currently being offered ($299/mo) between Jan and Jun?

When the carrot isn't enough get out the stick? Will they then revise lease prices downward in the new year when demand wains? Seems like a year end ploy to get fence sitters to buy existing inventory.

Going from $16,164 for 3 years to $22,764 for 3 years is a 41% cost increase, that’s actually insane

nope, you’d probably be looking at trying to lease off their used lot

Yeah, is a wild increase.

Good luck with that 👀

Their lack of concern with moving vehicles makes me question how committed Elon still is to cars. He seems more set on focusing on Optimus and FSD taxis.

Only the standard.

Correct. I don’t recall op being specific.

Someones never taken a business class

Well, I guess I won’t be leasing a Model Y in Q1 or Q2 ‘26. I’m not gonna play this game of chicken with Elon.

You couldn’t give me this car again for free with the terrible quality, reliability, and service experience. I’m going back to bmw as soon as this lease ends.

They think we’re all a bunch of idiots.

Great marketing to try to boost Q4 sales. January is the slowest month for car sales, so this increased pricing won't last very long. But, maybe Tesla is no longer interested in growing sales since they've moved onto robotaxis.

I mean, not yet. This is an ad.

Yes. The pandemic era car market is long gone. They’re using this process increase as a tool to convince people to pull the trigger. End of the 1st and 2nd quarters will likely have similar price cuts followed by threats of impending increases. Rinse and repeat

Do you think we will continue to see this up and down between now and June?

Don't fall for this. There will be another better deal in the near future. The current lease price is good, but don't be pressured by these dumb tactics. "No one is buying our car so we are going to INCREASE the price. You better buy it now before we do!"

I’m new to considering a Tesla so I haven’t historically watched their pricing trends. Have you seen lease prices dip to around $300 per month before?

I would think so.
