Tesla Inc. has reviewed its pricing policy, adding up to $6,000 to most of its models and only leaving a few versions at their previous price points. We are told that supply chain disruptions and expensive components are to blame for the hike.
The Model 3 Standard and Model 3 Performance were spared this time around, and are still available starting from $47,000 and $63,000, respectively. The Long Range version now costs $58,000 (+2.5k).
Going for a Model Y Performance will set you back $70,000 (+2k), while choosing the Long Range instead will lighten your account by $66,000 (+3k).
The Model S AWD Long Range now retails for $105,000 (+5k). Still, the Model X in the same large-battery version is ahead of the trend with a $121,000 sticker (+6k).
This is the second price increase for Tesla this year. If we were to measure from the beginning of the year, the hike would make +10k for the Model S and +16k for the Model X.
If you needed any more reasons to reconsider buying a Tesla, the company continues cutting costs. For instance, the adaptive cruise control system on board no longer uses a convenient radar, instead making do with line-of-sight cameras. For another, all cars now come without an included charging cable.
