Tesla Cuts Model Y Inventory Prices by More than $8,000 Ahead of Juniper Refresh Release
The cheapest Model Y now starts from $33,890 after a direct price cut and the federal tax credit incentives, as Tesla is yet to reveal the Juniper refresh pricing apart from the Launch Series edition. The Model Y Juniper refresh release date came and went in China this week, and Tesla even stopped selling the Launch Series with extended warranty there. In the US, however, the 2026 Model Y facelift is yet to be released, and is now only available as an expensive Launch Series preorder edition that costs nearly $60,000.
- This price slashing strategy could indicate a last-minute push by Tesla to clear inventory before the Juniper refresh arrives, potentially driven by the looming deadline for federal tax credit incentives.
- What implications will this pricing strategy have on Tesla's revenue and profit margins in the coming months, particularly if the Juniper refresh launch is indeed imminent?
