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, “”

Here Is Why It’s So Difficult to Know How Much You're Actually 'Saving' on a Used Car
It’s no great revelation that used cars are way more complicated to shop for than new models. And it’s sometimes even more difficult to determine whether or not a customer got a “good price” on a used car. A recent look into buying habits revealed that online retailers can,...

At $2,500, Is This Custom 1992 Mazda MX-5 Miata a Book You Don’t Judge by its Cover?
A lot of car people say that ‘Miata’ is always the answer. One look at today’s NA edition and you might be asking the question, what are you smoking? Let’s see if this individualistic MX-5 can at least create a consensus over its price. It has been said that...

Which of You Turkeys Is Dropping $50,000 on a Handbuilt Acura TLX?
When you want your product to give off a sense of “old-worldness” and “craftsmanship,” you tell everyone that it is “handmade” or “handbuilt.” This marketing scheme has worked on me multiple times, just check my shoe rack. There’s no doubt that Acura hopes buyers will feel similarly about the...

At $38,500, Could this Custom 1989 BMW 325i Turbo Touring Make You Throw Caution to the Wind?
Yes, the price tag on today’s custom E30 could be considered eye watering, but could its custom build and fat turbo make it a real eye opener? It may be considered quaint and perhaps even mystifying by today’s standards, but at one point in time cars didn’t all have...
