Tesla Hikes Model 3 Performance Price - Kelley Blue Book
Tesla has now increased the price of its new Model 3 Performance sedan as high as it can go without losing EV tax credits.
www.kbb.comHere’s what I can share about the latest Model 3 MSRP (as of now).
- The Model 3’s MSRP has historically shifted due to price changes, tax credit eligibility, and regional incentives. For example, price updates in mid-2020s often targeted staying under the $55,000 threshold to preserve eligibility for federal EV tax credits in the U.S. [cite ][cite ].
- Recent reporting during 2024–2025 shows Tesla adjusting Model 3 variants’ pricing in small increments, with some versions hovering near the tax-credit cutoff and others wary of edging over it. This pattern suggests the current MSRP for various trims may be close to, but sometimes just under, $55,000 depending on options chosen. [cite ][cite ][cite ].
- If you’re shopping in Europe or other regions, MSRP figures will differ due to local taxes, incentives, and destination charges, so local pricing pages should be checked for the exact figure in your area. [cite ].
Illustrative example (U.S. context):
- Model 3 Long Range or Standard variants have seen price adjustments historically in the range of a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, with the goal of maintaining or re-evaluating eligibility for federal credits and regional incentives. This keeps the price near the $55,000 threshold for single-occupancy non-SUV configurations, but exact current MSRPs depend on trim and installed options. [cite ][cite ].
Would you like me to pull the most current MSRP for your specific region (Valletta, Malta) or your preferred Model 3 trim and options? I can then summarize the exact numbers and any local incentives that apply. [cite ]
