Tesla prices increased across its entire model range
The increases are between $2,000 and $6,000
Unannounced price increases are common at Tesla (and increasingly from other automakers) these days. The latest one took place overnight 6/15/22-6/16/22 as Tesla bumped up the asking prices of various versions of each of its models by between $2,000 and $6,000. Here's a rundown.
No reason has been provided for the across-the-board pricing increase, but it's no secret that raw materials prices and shipping costs (partially due to high fuel costs) have skyrocketed over the course of the year.
Tesla Model 3:
- Tesla Model 3 Long Range went from $54,490 to $57,990 (up $2,500)
Tesla Model Y:
- Tesla Model Y Long Range went from $62,990 to $65,990 (up $3,000)
- Tesla Model Y Performance went from $67,990 to $69,990 (up $2,000)
Tesla Model S:
- Tesla Model S Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive Long Range went from $99,990 to $104,990 (up $5,000)
Tesla Model X:
- Tesla Model X Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive Long Range went from $114,990 to $120,990 (up $6,000)

They have the Disney problem. Disney kept increasing ticket pricing hoping that it would curb demand on their parks. People complained up and down but kept buying tickets. In theory, if they keep raising prices, demand = supply...doesn't seem that they've reached that threshold yet. They kept pricing steady on the Plaid. The Plaid is a deal now 
It has nothing to do with quality control, prices of raw materials are going up every gd damn month. I'm in construction business, this nonsense has reached absurd levels, most consumers have no idea how bad things really are.

Get used to it, competition products will go up too, especially with dealer markups. Heavy raw materials for the most part have doubled and tripled. Other things like computer chips are even worse.
A couple more years, and cars are no longer going to be affordable for the middle class.

The Middle class has been crunched, stomped on, and priced out long time ago. The economy has been bad in the past and it recovered, it will recover again. The market will set prices, Tesla will either continue to sell their cars at higher prices and people will buy them or not buy them, or they will go to the competition

Apparently not working very well. This has been a very interesting few years....
Nobody is taking advantage of anything, we had 100% inflation over the last 2 years, in the USA we are still relatively lucky as cars are still more or less affordable compared to the rest of the world. It will continue getting worse.

rwd model 3 is a good deal still at 47K. Friend bought one earlier this year and Im surprised how much I like it, even with the quality issues. He told me full self driving can be added after purchase at $200 a month, which makes it a good deal if you dont plan on keeping your Tesla more than the usual 3-5 years.
