Now that Tesla’s CEO, and richest man in the world, Elon Musk, has left his White House duties and is once again refocusing on the finances of his car company, it’s interesting to see just what his favorite income earner charges consumers. Teslas are many things, but one thing they are not is cheap.

Tesla Model S
-
2025 Starting MSRP: $81,630 to $91,630
-
Estimated average monthly payment: $1,148
The Model S from Tesla has a lot to boast about, including a base dual motor which can power the car from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds, as well as go for a 405-mile range. However, the price point is equal to that of the company’s Model S Long Range, which was more than $88,000 back in 2023. It’s a powerful electric vehicle that requires a bit of green to get behind the driver’s seat.

Tesla Model X Plaid
-
2025 Starting MSRP: $81,630 to $96,630
-
Estimated average monthly payment: $1,299
While it was originally priced at about $140,000 in 2023, the Model X Plaid has come down in terms of cost, but not in features. It has the same tri-motor AWD set up as the Model S Plaid while offering a roomy interior for up to six riders. While it’s heavier than the average SUV and not as aerodynamic as other cars, it has a range of 326 miles and can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds, which is why drivers pay top dollar to own one.
Tesla Cybertruck AWD
-
2025 Starting MSRP: $81,985
-
Estimated average monthly payment: $1,209
Love ’em or hate ’em, the Cybertruck is out on the road and for a pretty penny, too. The Cybertruck provides an up to 340-mile range, 600 horsepower, an estimated 340-mile range and 11,000 pounds of towing capabilities. After numerous production delays, Tesla’s founder, Elon Musk, tried to make the Cybertruck $30,000 cheaper, but despite not being able to reach that price, thousands of drivers are currently behind the wheel of these EVs.
Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast
-
2025 Starting MSRP: $101,985
-
Estimated average monthly payment: $1,766
If you want the Cybertruck souped up, you will have to order the Cyberbeast. Deliveries tend to take about a year, making it the most expensive Tesla that one can find in the catalogue. It can still tow up to 11,000 pounds, as well as get a top speed of 130 with 845 horsepower and go for a range of about 320 miles. What you end up paying for is the power of the Cyberbeast.
2026 Tesla Roadster
-
2026 Starting MSRP: $200,000 to $250,000
-
Estimated average monthly payment: Could be upwards of $4,000 over five years
One of the brand’s original models got a significant upgrade with the New Tesla Roadster, a car that reigns as Tesla’s most expensive vehicle to date — if it gets released, which would be in 2026 at the earliest. In order to simply reserve it, drivers need to put down $50,000 and then come up with the average starting price of about $200,000, with a Founders Series model specially priced for an estimated $250,000 total. If you are looking to get behind the wheel of one, start saving your pennies now.
