It's hard to know if many people are trying to decide between the Tesla Model X and Model Y. Perhaps it's more realistic to think that a decision between the Model 3 and Model Y is more common.

We do hear about many prospective Tesla buyers cross-shopping the flagship Model S against the Model 3, but that's likely because a base Model S ($69,420) and a Model 3 Performance ($54,990) are much closer in price than the Model X and Model Y.

The Model Y may have just become much more appealing to many people since you can now get one for as little as $41,990. In addition, Tesla has made it official that the 7-seat Model Y is now available. At $42k, the Model Y is now $38,000 cheaper than the Model X, which is nearly half the price.

With the optional third-row seats, the 7-seat Model Y starts at around $45,000. For comparison, while the 7-seat Model X starts at $83,490, the 6-seat version will set you back $86,490. Again, no matter how you look at it, Tesla's flagship Model X costs nearly twice as much as the Model Y.

What do you think?
