\n\t\t\"Tesla<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Tesla is starting to discount new inventory vehicles, including the Model 3, which now starts at $35,000 after incentives or $384 a month for a lease.<\/p>\n

Model X is also being discounted.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fair to say that Tesla\u2019s pricing strategy has been hard to keep up within the last year. After significant price increases throughout 2022, the automaker slashed pricing over half a dozen times in 2023.<\/p>\n

The price changes on new orders have slowed down over the last month, but we have noted that Tesla is now creating a discrepancy between its new car order prices and new inventory vehicle prices \u2013 something that didn\u2019t exist before.<\/p>\n

Prior to this month, you custom build a car for order, and it would be the same price as if you find the exact same build in Tesla\u2019s new inventory vehicles.<\/p>\n

That changed after a $500 price increase on Model 3 and Model Y didn\u2019t apply to new inventory vehicles<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Now it looks like Tesla is further increasing this discrepancy on Model 3 inventory vehicles with a new discount:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Tesla appears to have applied a $1,210 discount on new inventory Model 3 vehicles in the US.<\/p>\n

It now starts at $39,030 before incentives. With the $3,750 federal tax credit, it\u2019s $35,280, which is about the original price that Tesla was aiming for Model 3. It also brings the lease price down to $384 a month.<\/p>\n

As for new Model 3 orders, Tesla is maintaining the same price and deliveries by June for all versions.<\/p>\n

Tesla is also discounting some new inventory Model X vehicles by $1,560, but it\u2019s not across all vehicles like Model 3.<\/p>\n

Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n

It does seem like Tesla is trying to bring down new inventory vehicles. It makes sense since it looks like Model 3 new inventory is a year high right now (via Matt Jung<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

But again, Model X is the biggest issue and only some inventory models have been discounted in my own check on the inventory website.<\/p>\n

It might not be a bad time to buy. Prices have been stable for a bit and actually went up on Model 3 and Model Y for new orders most recently.<\/p>\n

That said, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if we see some end-of-quarter buying incentive next month.<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t spam my referral code, but if I helped you decide to buy a Tesla vehicle or product with my writing\/podcast, you can reach out to me for a referral code at fred@electrek.co.<\/em> Using a referral code results in both referrer and new buyer getting a few thousand Tesla credit points, which are redeemable for Cybertruck raffle entries, Tesla accessories, free Supercharging miles, and more.<\/em><\/p>\n
