EV giant Tesla Inc. TSLA introduced the all-new Model 3 in the North American market on Tuesday, maintaining the same prices as the older version of the vehicle.
What Happened: The new Model 3 rear-wheel drive starts at $38,990, while the Long Range version starts at $45,990. These vehicles boast estimated ranges of 272 miles and 341 miles, respectively.
The Performance variant, however, has not been listed on the website.
Why It Matters: The vehicle is not eligible for the federal EV tax credit of $7,500. But all versions of the Model Y continue to be eligible, making the Model Y rear-wheel drive and long-range versions cheaper than their Model 3 counterparts after tax credit.
Tesla introduced the refreshed Model 3 first in China in late August at a higher price than the older model.
During its third-quarter earnings call last year, Tesla company did not reveal the timeline for the Model 3 Highland’s U.S. release and even refused to take questions on it, stating that they don’t answer product-related questions and timings on earnings calls.
