Here’s the latest you need on Tesla Model 3 MSRP.
-
The Model 3 pricing has fluctuated widely due to changes in trims, options, and federal tax credits. Recent reports show price moves for high-performance variants around the low to mid $50k range before destination and options, with some configurations just hitting or barely missing credit-eligibility thresholds.[1][8][9]
-
For the most current MSRP you should check Tesla’s official Model 3 page, since they frequently update prices after changes in incentives, supply, or new feature packages. If you want, I can pull the exact current MSRP for the exact configuration you’re considering from Tesla’s site.

If you’re shopping in Santa Monica, California, be aware that local taxes, destination charges, and potential rebates or incentives can affect the out-the-door price, and dealer-installed options can push MSRP up or down depending on the package you select.[7][1]
Illustration: A typical Model 3 lineup might look like this (before tax/fees): Standard Range Plus around mid-$30k historically, Long Range often around the mid-$40k to low-$50k, and Performance variants in the mid-$50k to low-$60k range, with occasional spikes or reductions tied to incentives and option choices.[8][9][1]
Would you like me to fetch the exact current MSRP for the Model 3 variant you’re eyeing (Standard, Long Range, or Performance) and show the out-the-door estimate for Santa Monica? I can also include a quick comparison table of recent price changes to help gauge the trend.
