Tesla Model 3 price, lease and range: common questions
How much does the Tesla Model 3 cost?
MSRP is $36,990 for the Standard RWD to $54,990 for the Performance AWD in November 2026, plus a $1,640 destination fee. Tax, options and dealer markup are extra.
What is the Tesla Model 3 price with destination?
$38,630 for the cheapest trim: $36,990 MSRP plus the $1,640 destination fee, before tax, registration and dealer fees.
Does the Tesla Model 3 qualify for the $7,500 tax credit?
No. The federal clean vehicle credit is not available for new EVs acquired after September 30, 2025, so a Tesla Model 3 you buy today doesn't qualify. The lease version of the credit ended the same day. Some states still pay their own rebate.
How much is a Tesla Model 3 lease?
We have no current advertised lease deal for the Tesla Model 3 on file. A lease payment is built on the price, so start from the $36,990 MSRP of the Standard RWD plus $1,640 destination, then ask the dealer for the money factor and residual and run them in our lease calculator, which applies your state's lease tax.
What is the Tesla Model 3's range?
EPA range is 316 to 363 miles, depending on trim. Expect about 254 miles from the longest-range trim in cold weather; that figure is our estimate, not an EPA number.
How fast does the Tesla Model 3 charge?
Peak DC fast charging is 250 kW.
What is the battery warranty on the Tesla Model 3?
8 yr / 100,000 mi (Standard); 8 yr / 120,000 mi (Premium, Performance); 70% capacity.
