Tesla reveals its long-awaited affordable models, the $36,990 Model 3 Standard and $39,990 Model Y Standard
"To accelerate the transition to sustainable energy, we must produce more EVs, they need to be affordable, and (produce) a lot more energy storage,"
"pointless."
"It would be silly," he said. "It would be completely at odds with what we believe."
Tesla introduced Standard versions of the Model 3 and Model Y priced at $36,990 and $39,990 respectively. The new pricing creates lower-cost options compared with prior base prices near $42,500 and $45,000 without the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. Record quarterly sales surged as US buyers rushed to claim the tax credit before it ended. Elon Musk previously targeted a $25,000 vehicle but missed deadlines while prioritizing self-driving technology. Musk emphasized the need for more affordable EVs and greater energy storage to accelerate sustainable energy, and described a non-autonomous $25,000 model as pointless and silly.
