Image for article titled Tesla Raises Prices Significantly Across Model Lineup

Tesla is raising the prices of its cars . This time, the price hike is being blamed on global supply-chain issues,. Raw material costs – including aluminum used in Teslas – have been on a big upswing recently.

This is the second significant price increase this year, with the last one happening .

reports some models have gone up by as much as $6,000, though not every vehicle has seen quite that increase.

Tesla Model 3

The Model 3 received the smallest price increase. The Model 3 Long Range is the only vehicle in that lineup to be affected, and it went from $54,490 to $57,990. That’s a $2,500 increase.

Tesla Model Y

Both versions of the Model Y had price increases.. The Long Range went from $62,990 to $65,990 ($3,000 increase) and the Performance rose from $67,990 to $69,990 ($2,000 increase)

Tesla Model S

The aging Model S got a more substantial price increase than 3 and Y. The Model S Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive Long Range went from $99,990 to $104,990. That’s a $5,000 price increase, on top of another $5,000 price increase that happened a few months back, according to Electrek. That means the price of the Model S – a vehicle that has been on sale for 10 years – has risen by $10,000 in 2022.

Tesla Model X

The Model X saw the worst of the price increases. A Model X Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive Long Range increased from $114,990 to $120,990. That’s a $6,000 price increase for an SUV that – like the Model S – is no longer a spring chicken.

The Grand Scheme

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has warned about the risk of a recession in recent weeks. He’s even tweeted about having a “super bad feeling” in regards to the economy and said Tesla needs to cut 10 percent of jobs at the company.

It’s also probably safe to assume the $25,000 Tesla is all but dead, .

I suppose if you want a Tesla, you better act sooner rather than later. As Marlo Stanfield said in The Wire, “”

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...
