What affects the price on a Tesla Model Y

Three things move the number most on this vehicle.

📐

Size & complexity

A compact SUV like the Tesla Model Y has its own surface area and panel layout — as a compact crossover the Model Y carries more panel area and a large glass roof than a Model 3, which nudges coating, PPF, and detailing prices up.

🎨

Paint & condition

The Tesla Model Y has thin, soft Tesla paint. How much prep and correction it needs going in is the biggest single price factor.
