Tesla UK pricing - tracking the ups and downs
With Tesla pricing changing faster than the seasons in 2023 we thought that we should track the UK retail price of the model 3 and model Y.
June 2026 - Tesla simplify range with Standard and Three Performance models
Both Model 3 and Y range are now shipping with the low cost Standard models and three Performance options – RWD, AWD and Performance. Keeping things simple.
Jan 2026 - Tesla launch lower cost Model 3 Standard alongside the Model Y RWD.
Model 3 standard launched Jan 2026 for £37,990. Now renamed Model 3 – Standard has gone.
The Model Y RWD or standard launched in December 20205 for £41,990.
2024 arrives and no price changes in Jan, Feb or March. Other markets have seen price reductions but not UK. The new facelift Highlander is here and looks great.
We also have during April the Model 3 Performance and the Model Y performance.
December 2023 – The years draws to a close with no change on retail pricing. We expect the refreshed Model 3 Highlanders to land in the UK in January. Expect a sales rush.
November sees no change in the new Model 3 price after the £3,000 price cut in October 3 and no change in Model Y UK price.
October sees a £3,000 price cut in Model 3 and no change in Model Y.
September sees no change in base price for Tesla Model 3 or Model Y.
July and August sees no change in base price for Tesla Model 3 or Model Y.
June 2023 see no change to base prices for Model 3 or Model Y,
May sees no change in base price for Tesla Model 3 or Model Y.
April sees no change in base price for Tesla Model 3 or Model Y.
May 2024 – another month with no price change to Model 3 or Model Y.
August 2024 – Both model 3 and Model Y available at very competitive PCH price – Model Y just £299 / month and model 3 at 0% APR. There are deals to be had.
October 2024 sees a £2,000 price increase on the Tesla Model Y. This is the first change in 18 months. The Model 3 remains the same price.
November sees end of year incentives: We have Free Supercharging for 1 year for deliveries before year end for Model Y. Model 3 has a lease price of just £299 / month – 36 month lease / hire with 12 month down. Great deal. Total cost for three years would be just: £14,000. That’s far less than the deprecation from buying a new car for £40K.
December 2024 see no change to UK base pricing.
New Mode Y introduced in early 2025 with the Launch Model available to order in Feb at £60,990.
Aug 2025 – Model Y Performance introduced – Available for £61,990 with initial deliveries in October / November.
