Tesla to Unveil More Affordable Model Y SUV
Tesla aims to boost US sales with a Model Y priced below $30,000 including EV tax credits as it faces rising competition and slowing demand, executives said.
- On October 7, 2025, Tesla Inc. will introduce a less expensive variant of the Model Y SUV.
- This launch comes as the U.S. federal tax credit of up to $7,500 for electric vehicles ended at the start of this month, making Tesla models more expensive for buyers.
- German plant manager André Thierig shared internally that the upcoming Model Y will cost approximately 10% less than the existing model.
- Tesla set a new quarterly record by delivering nearly half a million vehicles globally between July and September; however, executives noted that initial production of the more affordable models only started in June.
- The decision is intended to make the car more accessible, as Musk noted that although interest is strong, many customers lack sufficient funds to make a purchase.
