All Tesla Model Y versions in the U.S. are $1,000 more expensive as Tesla applied the price change, which was announced two weeks ago. Prices of the other models remain unchanged.
As a result, the entry-level Tesla Model Y RWD starts at an MSRP of $44,990 (plus +$1,640 of obligatory fees), the Long Range AWD version at $49,990, and the Performance version at $53,490.

Tesla price changes
Tesla is known for active and relatively frequent changes in its pricing, especially when there is an imbalance between supply and demand. One of the reasons behind that is the lack of a middleman (dealers), which usually would apply rebates (or increases) to the MSRP.
All Tesla Model Y cars qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit. Because of that, the effective cost of the base version is $39,130.
The model's pricing is very competitive among all-electric cars, which enabled it to take more than a third of the EV segment in January 2024.

New orders are expected to be completed within a few weeks, as the company shows April 2024, indicating that there is no long queue of customers waiting for the cars like a few years ago.

As a side note, let's note that the recent Tesla Model Y price increase was applied also in some other global markets.
For example, on April 1, 2024, Tesla increased the Model Y prices in China by nearly $700 (5,000 CNY) and ended some incentives: insurance subsidy (8,000 CNY or $1,100) and paint color cost reduction (10,000 CNY or almost $1,400). This means that in some cases, the total cost increased by $3,180 (23,000 CNY).
The price increase in China is very interesting because most of the other EV manufacturers appear to be cutting prices in an ongoing price war. Another thing is that Tesla's largest EV factory, located in Shanghai, reportedly reduces production rates, but this news has yet to be verified.
Tesla is expected to release its global Q1 production and delivery numbers tomorrow (April 2), and within a week or two we should also see some numbers from China.
