In anamazing turn of events, Tesla has updated its US website so that it is no longer so misleading when it comes to car pricing. Previously, the prices listed up front factored in a federal tax credit and potential gas savings over six years, rather than showing actual vehicle prices. Now as a primary you get the real price.

Take the Model 3, for example. The car starts at just over $43,000, but has previously been listed for just under $32,000. Of course, the former is what you end up paying, so you can see that this wasn’t the nicest way for Tesla to go about it.

To see a breakdown of your potential savings on a Model 3 purchase, you can do so at the bottom of the page. Click “Find out more” and a pop-up window will appear with a breakdown of the savings.

After all, not everyone can get a tax credit and it often requires a waiting period. Finally, the entire amount still needs to be financed.

Second, gas savings are estimated over a six-year period and as we all know, gas and energy prices fluctuate frequently and there is no reliable way to estimate future savings. Not to mention that this is not a discount on the price of the car. These are only potential savings that need to be realized over time.

It’s obvious why Tesla listed misleading prices on their website, but it’s nice to see the real ones up front with a detailed breakdown of your potential savings.
