Looking at my Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement for a 2023 MYP that I just took delivery of yesterday, I see the base price for the Model Y is listed at $39,990. Why is that? Is there a way to actually purchase one for $39,990? From the looks of the MY ordering page, the lowest cost MY is $47,740 at the moment. I've attached a picture of the pricing shown in my MVPA. I'm guessing they used to offer a lower optioned MY at some point, but no longer do?

Sure. Why not? I don't see anything wrong with that!
Where have you seen the option to delete the motor(s) and only pay $39,990? I must have missed it. Lol.Look at the first line.Sure. Why not? I don't see anything wrong with that!
The pricing is that the $40k is the "base" pricing and that the trim level is the additional cost ("SR"/"AWD", LR, P). And motor configuration is part of trim.

Yes, I see that. That's pretty clear. Look at the actual questions in my first post. Is there a way to actually purchase one for $39,990? I'm guessing they used to offer a lower optioned MY at some point, but no longer do?
@MikeStephenson is posing a valid question.
That option listing page looks awfully like the classic stealership method of swindling customers in.
There is no option of "no motor", or RWD on the Y - so why is that base price listed at that value?
My purchase agreements on both M3P and MYP look quite different, also illinois

If that's the case, I'm sorry I even replied. It seemed like a joke.
Thank you. You're understanding my question exactly. The reason I ask is because I like my new MYP, that I'd consider a lower cost MY to replace a second vehicle. I can't justify a $50,000+ car, but would consider something less expensive. I was just wondering if there WAS a lower cost version (ie; Single motor) that they weren't currently selling at the moment, for some reason. However, I do believe that it's likely a marketing tactic so people think they start out at $39K to hook them in.

Edit: Sorry, not the single motor. Just not the long range.

No, its not.
I am fairly sure the pricing is that way to ensure the vehicle qualifies for specific credits.
I'd look at model 3 if the lesser space can work for you. Model 3 standard range RWD is a great commuter car
Tesla has a red one listed for 39K in stock in Orland park
It should’ve been obvious from what I said, you have to pick a trim level. They are trim levels, not optional add-on. So therefore, no.
And yes, there was a lower trim level available, for a very short time. That was the single motor RWD, that got cancelled. Would that have been $40k? I don’t know, but would guess no and that it also had an up charge.

For a VERY short time, Tesla sold the Tesla Model Y SR-RWD trim for $39,990. The price drop was on February 17, 2021 and quickly discontinued a few days later. There are posts here on TMC confirming deliveries were made at this price point. See below historic base price for all Model Y trims in the US.

That's because its politicians "running the state business" instead of properly skilled and compassionate humans
