Of course, you will face newly growing negativity around the brand, but the performance of the model itself is a flight at this price
–>
- The Tesla Model remains one of the most popular cars in the world for many reasons.
- In some states, the price is already relatively low, it is even better thanks to incentives.
- Performance, available for as little as $ 32,000, reaches 60 MPH in about 3.5 seconds.
Tesla is currently going to her model juniper updated, but for the moment, the limited edition of $ 59,990 of the updated crossing is the only option available in the United States. However, many prefacelifging models persist in stock, including several of the model Y model performance versions. To eliminate this inventory, Tesla offers huge discounts, and the offers are surprisingly good. In fact, in some states with additional incentives, you can hang one for less than $ 33,000.
Plus: we compare the Tesla Model 2026 juniper side by side with its predecessor
Before clicking on “Buy”, keep in mind that the updated model offers several key improvements compared to the first generation. Beyond cosmetic changes as a new front and rear design, it has noise, reduced vibrations and hardness (NVH), a reworked suspension to respond to previous complaints and improved interior materials. In addition, a new performance version of the model is on the way.
Looking at Europe and China, where the standard versions of the new juniper are already available there, we expect the update version to be launched next month at a similar price (without any discount at the start) to the current model. Something to consider if you look at the old model.
Almost $ 20,000 reduction – with a few catches
Currently, the brand has several examples of model performance there in stock and it is not cars that have been sitting for a year or more. Most are cars of the 2025 model year and Tesla hacked up to $ 8,000 on the price in some cases.
Stack that the federal tax credit of $ 7,500 and the additional discounts available in states such as Colorado ($ 3,850) or Massachusetts ($ 3,500), and you are considering just less than $ 20,000 reduction on the PDSF of $ 51,490. This means that this car can be yours for less than $ 33,000 before taxes and delivery costs, an absolute flight. In addition, with the direct sales model of Tesla, there is no bargaining – just a simple press on a button.
To put this in perspective, it is around the price of a close compact SUV. For example, the Subaru Forester from the base 2025 begins at $ 29,995, with the next garnish, the premium, from $ 32,310.
Keep in mind that the performance of the Y model of Tesla, supposed to produce approximately 470 hp, can be flexed from 0 to 60 MPH (96 km / h) in 3.5 seconds with a deployment. It is faster than a new Ford Mustang Dark Horse, a Toyota Supra, a Porsche 911 Carrera and only 0.1 seconds slower than the Aston Martin Vantage. We are talking about the speed of good faith to what is essentially the price of a basic Honda CR-V. There are few questions that are more fun to drive.
Not just speed. It’s practical too
At the same time, it’s not like it was a pony in a turn. The performance of the model offers 277 miles of scopped range, five seats (or possibly seven for two very small children), up to 76 cubic feet of loading space with the folded rear seats. It is as much space for equipment as some three rows SUVs. In addition, it is also delivered with a solid list of standard kit, including vegan leather, 21 -inch wheels and a complete safety suite.
Of course, all this comes with a warning. Currently, everything related to Tesla – whether it is its owners, its stores or its compressor stations – is under fire of several directions. To be clear, none of this is the owners’ fault, but it is always something to keep in mind. At least, in this case, they can exceed almost all those who could try to chase them to slap a sticker on their car.
