Following lease price hikes across key models in late 2025, Tesla has launched leasing for the Model Y Performance in the US, starting at $799 per month with $3,000 down over 36 months and 10,000 miles per year.
Tesla has made its Model Y Performance variant available for leasing in the United States, providing a new option for the high-performance electric SUV after recent price increases on other models effective December 26, 2025.
As reported by Tesla analyst Sawyer Merritt on X, the lease terms are $799 per month, including a $3,000 down payment, a 36-month duration, and 10,000 miles annually. This follows Tesla's strategy of adjusting lease pricing—previously hiking rates on Model 3, Model Y Premium variants, and Cybertruck to encourage Q4 2025 deliveries—which underscores efforts to manage demand and broaden EV accessibility amid growing adoption.
The Model Y Performance offers accelerated performance and advanced features, appealing to buyers seeking flexibility over outright purchase. Availability is primarily through Tesla's US website, with potential variations by location. No details on international rollout or further customizations were shared.
