USA: Tesla Model Y Standard & Performance Banned from lease

Direct consequence of the removal of the federal ecological credit of $7,500 since October 1st, Tesla is reducing its leasing offers.
Tesla warning: prices for all its models will increase starting November 2025 in the United States. The era of massive promotions to support demand will come to an end in the name of profitability. A real dilemma, because rarely does a price increase come with better financial health…
Or should we see it as yet another bluff attempt by Tesla, which loves to play yo-yo with its prices to artificially create interest among customers who think they are getting a good deal with the first promotion that comes along?

By ending the federal aid of $7,500 for electric vehicle purchases on September 30, 2025, the Trump administration has clipped the wings of manufacturers without a thermal range. Clearly the case of Tesla or Rivian, the latter having just announced an additional 600 job cuts.
Facing shrinking margins and collapsing residual values on used electric cars, Tesla has taken yet another strong symbolic decision. The removal of the Model Y Standard and Model Y Performance from its leasing offer.
Only the Premium Propulsion (rear-wheel drive) and Premium All-Wheel Drive remain available, with the note: “Prices increase in November.” The upcoming lease price for the Premium Propulsion: $529, up from $449 until October 31, 2025. An increase of $80 or 18% all at once!
Is there panic on the Tesla ship? And should we expect a similar price hike in other markets, starting with Europe, where sales have been sluggish since Elon Musk’s political blunders at the beginning of 2025?
The financial markets will decide, knowing that the last quarter of 2025 is likely to be very volatile for Tesla due to the loss of federal credit.
