The Model 3 Standard Range Plus is now $1,000 cheaper at $36,990, while the price of the Model Y Standard Range has been reduced to $39,990, which is $2,000 less than when it was originally introduced in January

However, the price of the Performance versions of both models has been raised by $1,000 to $55,990 for the Model 3 and $59,990 for the Model Y.

The Model 3 Standard Range Plus is rated at 263 miles per charge and the Model Y Standard Range at 244 miles.

The move follows Sunday's debut of the Chevrolet Bolt EUV, which is smaller than the Tesla Model Y, but starts at $33,995.
