It may be that Tesla would prefer you pick a Model 3 instead, and is backing up that notion with some new special lease deals this month. Yet investors did not seem especially appreciative of this, and sent Tesla shares down nearly 2% in Tuesday afternoon's trading. ### Claim 55% Off TipRanks Looking for exposure to SpaceX & Anthropic? Check out AGIX ETF Tesla made quite a few changes for the Model 3 in 2026. The Model 3 Standard is back, and the Model 3 Long Range versions are now the Model 3 Premium Rear-Wheel Drive and the Model 3 Premium All-Wheel Drive. The prices, meanwhile, are reasonably attractive. The Model 3 Standard will be the value point of entry, with $3,994 due at signing and a monthly payment of $299. The Premium will increase those numbers to $4,044 due at signing and $349 a month. The Premium All-Wheel Drive will push those numbers to $4,145 due at signing and $449 a month, while the Performance AWD will reach $4,295 and $599 a month. All the lease terms include 10,000 miles, and last for 36 months. ## **The Semi Continues to Astound** While the Model 3 gets a little pricing shakeup and the Model Y gets a price hike, one of Tesla's newest projects, the Semi, gets a whole new lease on life as the trucking industry begins to appreciate just what it is Tesla has rolled out. The early reviews of the Semi say that it actually solves many of the biggest problems the trucking industry faces: range and cost. King Fio Trucking owner Jennie Abarca noted, "The problem with the technology that's out there right now is their range is limited. They're quite heavy, and they're very expensive. This is something new coming to the market that kind of answers all those problems." Given that King Fio purchased 20 Semis, that suggests that one trucking firm on the ground believes in the Semi as a solution. ## **Is Tesla a Buy, Hold or Sell?** Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on TSLA stock based on 12 Buys, 12 Holds, and five Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 19.25% rally in its share price over the past year, the average TSLA price target of $403.86 per share implies 0.38% upside potential. ### Related Stocks - [TSL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSL.US.md) - [TSLA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLA.US.md) - [TSLS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLS.US.md) - [TSLT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLT.US.md) - [TSLZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLZ.US.md) - [TSDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSDD.US.md) - [TSLG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLG.US.md) - [TSLR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLR.US.md) - [TSLQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLQ.US.md) - [TSLL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLL.US.md) - [TESL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TESL.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Tesla Hikes Model Y Prices By Up To $1,000—Here's What You Should Know](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286669126.md) - [Tesla Model Y Gets Rare Price Increase in the U.S.](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286651076.md) - [Tesla has a possible fix for chaotic charging lines](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286133106.md) - [Tesla’s $250 Million Germany Bet Is Interesting.
