Cheapest new Tesla in 2026
New, the floor is the Model 3 Standard at $36,990 MSRP ($38,630 after Tesla's $250 order fee and $1,390 destination) — the Model Y Standard follows at $39,990. Our cost calculator turns either into a real monthly payment with your state's taxes and fees. What the $36,990 Standard leaves out vs the $42,490 Premium: about 40 miles of range, the upgraded suspension, rear touchscreen and better audio — worthwhile checks before assuming cheapest-new is the value play (today's cheapest used Model 3 undercuts new by $24,729).
Why the used floor moves daily
Tesla reprices used inventory continuously — we logged 37,541 price cuts in the last 30 days. Cars at the very bottom of the market sell in days, so treat the table above as a snapshot and set a price alert for your target — you'll get an email the moment something cheaper appears.
