In 2022, Tesla<\/a> continues to reign as the #1 name in EVs around the globe by market cap. While other automakers are driving their new electrified models through a door in the automotive industry that Tesla originally kicked in, the American automaker continues to offer four quality EVs. That being said, prices have continued to rise in recent years. Here\u2019s where Tesla prices currently sit in 2022.<\/p>\n

How much is a Tesla in 2022?<\/h2>\n

Tesla currently offers EV models of varying trim levels and prices to choose from in 2022. Below, we have compiled all the current pricing for each available Tesla model ranging from its lowest, bare-bones starting price, to its maximum MSRP. We begin with Tesla\u2019s most affordable EV, the Model 3.<\/p>\n

2022 Model 3 prices: The cheapest Tesla<\/h3>\n

When we say that the Model 3<\/a> is the most affordable Tesla, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it doesn\u2019t cost a lot, especially in 2022. You may recall that when Tesla first introduced the Model 3 in 2016, it was aiming to deliver at at a price below $35,000 and did \u2013 for a very short period of time.<\/p>\n

Over the past two years especially, Model 3 prices have continuously fluctuated, but have trended upward overall\u2026 quite a bit if we\u2019re being honest. <\/p>\n

First and foremost, it\u2019s important to preface these prices by stating that they are accurate at the time of this post, but Tesla likes to keep us all on our toes, so that could certainly change. We will try our best to keep this article updated with the latest pricing for you. Let\u2019s dig in.<\/p>\n

Currently, the Rear-Wheel Drive trim of the Tesla Model 3 starts at an MSRP of $46,990<\/strong> with zero upgrades, not including any taxes, destination, or other fees. <\/p>\n

To give you the full price range of the Model 3, we also priced it loaded with every available upgrade including red paint, 19\u2033 Sport Wheels, black and white interior, plus the perpetually forthcoming full-self driving capability<\/a>\u00a0for an additional $12,000. All in, the fully-loaded RWD Model 3 costs $63,490.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Long Range Model 3 starts at $55,990<\/strong> and can reach a top end price of $72,490<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Lastly, the Performance version of the Model 3 starts at $62,990<\/strong> and can go even higher to $77,990<\/strong> with 20\u2033 \u00dcberturbine wheels and other add-ons mentioned above. <\/p>\n

Another new sales tactic for Tesla is a separate fee for charging connectors. No matter which model or trim you choose, you now have to\u00a0pay an additional $200-$400<\/a> for your mobile or wall charging connector. Model 3 prices have come a long way since its initial debut as Tesla\u2019s cheapest EV, but you can still save some cash by\u00a0getting yourself a pre-owned model<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tesla Model Y prices<\/h3>\n

With continued delays of the Cybertruck (more on that later), the Tesla Model Y<\/a>\u00a0currently sits as the newest Tesla EV, despite beginning deliveries back in early 2020. In 2022, the Tesla Model Y comes in two different options and prices, both of which are higher than its compact Model 3 sibling. <\/p>\n

Just like the Model 3 above, we have provided the bare bones MSRP option as well as the completely loaded Model Y with add-ons like red paint, 20\u2033 wheels, black and white interior, a tow hitch, and FSD capabilities.<\/p>\n

To begin, the\u00a0dual motor Long Range\u00a0Model Y<\/a> starts at a base MSRP of $62,990<\/strong> and can jump to $83,990 fully-decked out<\/strong>. This higher price includes all the available features mentioned above as well as the seven seat interior option for an extra $3,000 (only available on the Long Range trim). <\/p>\n

The Model Y Performance trim starts at $67,990<\/strong>, and it, too, increases to $83,990<\/strong> when souped up (although you can only get the five seat interior).<\/p>\n

In March of 2022, news emerged that Tesla is preparing to launch a new AWD version of the Model Y with a somewhat\u00a0puzzling 279 miles of range<\/a>. However, we do not have any pricing on that version just yet.<\/p>\n

\"2022<\/figure>\n

Tesla Model S prices<\/h3>\n

Aside from the original Tesla Roadster, the Model S<\/a> remains the oldest EV model from the American automaker and the longest running in production. As more affordable Tesla models like the 3 and Y have emerged over the years, higher end EVs like the Model S have seen sales dwindle somewhat.<\/p>\n

In 2022, consumers that can afford the prices of the Tesla Model S trims are certainly still buying, especially given the thrilling, high-end specs the Plaid trim provides. <\/p>\n

Currently, the Dual Motor Model S<\/a> begins at an MSRP of $99,990<\/strong>, down about $5,000 compared to previous months. Despite not having any add-ons, the $100k version of the Model S can travel 0-60 mph in nearly three seconds and offers over 400 miles of EPA range. <\/p>\n

With that said, the loaded version of the Dual Motor Model S provides similar performance, but with added features like red paint, cream interior, and FSD capabilities \u2013 all for $120,990<\/strong>. This price also includes 21\u2033 Arachnid wheels which also lowers this particular trim\u2019s range down to 375 miles.<\/p>\n

Despite the impressive specs on the Dual Motor Model S, they are nothing compared to Plaid and the price tag follows suit. The Tri Motor Model S Plaid starts out at an MSRP of $135,990<\/strong> with zero upgrades. All-in, however, you\u2019re looking at a purchase price of $156,990<\/strong>, including those same Arachnid wheels that again sacrifice a bit of range.<\/p>\n

Prices for 2022 Model X<\/h3>\n

You\u2019d think that with the sportiness of the Model S Plaid, it would be the most expensive Tesla model, for a portion of time it was. However, 2022 now includes a Plaid version of the Tesla Model X, and its prices are the automaker\u2019s highest yet.<\/p>\n

You get what you pay for, as they say, and the Model X<\/a> has the most to offer drivers in terms of space and performance, but for a price. Like its veteran sedan counterpart, the Model X currently comes in two trims.<\/p>\n

The Dual Motor Model X starts at an MSRP of $114,990<\/strong> minimum. From there, it vaults up to $143,490<\/strong> with added bonuses like 22\u2033 Turbine wheels, cream interior, and a $6,500 up-charge for a six seat interior that includes captain\u2019s chairs. If you\u2019d rather have the seven-seat row, it costs $3,000 less.<\/p>\n

The Model X refresh brought a Plaid version to the lineup to replace the Performance trim. Plaid starts at $138,990<\/strong> and caps out at $160,990<\/strong>, including all the most expensive add-ons. Note that the Model X Plaid only comes in the six seat option. <\/p>\n

Currently, customers who order their Model X Plaid today are not scheduled to receive their EV until fall. Even worse, Dual Motor purchasers are looking at a delivery window between January and April of 2023. If you\u2019d rather not wait, it might be worth considering\u00a0a pre-owned Model X<\/a>, they\u2019re out there.<\/p>\n

Potential cost of upcoming Tesla models<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s been over two years since Tesla started delivering any new models to its lineup, but it has been teasing the masses with two upcoming passenger EVs for five years now. This includes the Cybertruck and the 2nd Generation Roadster. <\/p>\n

How much do they cost? Well, let\u2019s just say their prices have changed over the years and as of 2022, Tesla has been far less open about it.<\/p>\n

Cybertruck<\/h3>\n

Originally, the Tesla Cybertruck<\/a> was priced out in three separate trims of varying MSRPs:<\/p>\n
