2021 has been a wild year for car prices. New car MSRPs , and used car prices just the same. Even domestic economy cars old enough to drink are . Tesla, never one to feel left out, has been all year long. Now, after another round of increases, the Model 3 officially costs over 20% more than it did just nine months ago.

The Model 3 was meant to be Tesla’s entry-level model, with an advertised price of $35,000 . That version of the car did eventually , , but for most of its life the Standard Range Plus trim has been the cheapest way to get into a Tesla. Now that trim is simply the base Model 3, and its price has gone up once again to celebrate.

The Model 3, before options and incentives, now starts at $44,990. That’s a 22% increase over the car’s pricing this past April, and a full $10,000 more than its promised base price at launch. To try and balance things out, Tesla did make silver paint a no-cost option — but, at the same time, increased the cost of a black exterior.

While the base Model 3's price bump is the largest by percentage, each trim level was raised by the same amount for November. Buyers of the Base, Long Range, and Performance models can all expect to spend an extra $1,000 to make their purchases. The Long Range now starts at $50,990, and the Performance costs a whopping $58,990.

The Model 3 isn’t alone in its price hikes, though. Both versions of the Model Y have similarly gained $1,000 in MSRP. The Long Range will now run you $57,990, and the Performance will set buyers back $62,990. Like the Model 3, silver exteriors can now be had free of charge, but a blacked-out body costs an additional $1,500.

For $22,500, Buy That Funky Toyo-Modena
Ferrari's are wickedly expensive and are known to be finickier than Goldilocks, while Toyotas are typically bland but reliable. The seller of today's Modena-bodied MR2 Spyder may have found the best of both worlds, but will you find its price out of this world? When one thinks of Ferrari what...

The German word for muscle is muskel which is also coincidentally how Popeye pronounces it. Applied automotively, that would make today's 5.0-powered MB 280CE a muskelwagen, but is its price enough to make your eyes pop? Unsurprisingly, a hefty 97% of you would not have popped for yesterday's , preferring...

It's long been the rule of thumb here on that you never, ever buy someone else's project, as you don't know if they were all thumbs. Of course today's Triumph-based Jamaican needs so much work that it conceivably could be considered your project. Its price however, may not get a...

Despite the iconic seven-slot grille, the is as American as a Katyusha rocket. The retro-fantastic rock crawler shares its design lineage with the Soviet and the arsenal of atom bombs that terrorized the nightmares of '50s schoolchildren. Regardless of whether its roots are red, white and blue or just red,...

Porsche's 928, while a timeless design, had a really big ass. The German tuner Strosek must have thought that too much is never enough, and today's Ultra III sports and even wider rear end. Will its price prove an equally continental divide? The 928 is a front-engine, rear-drive V8-powered coupe...

The W126 Sonderklasse was the last big Benz not to feel the competitive influences of insurgent Japanese luxury brands. Today's 560 SEL still exudes klasse, but is its price a little too sonder? Cubic zirconia, surimi, of women's claimed orgasms. . . all fake. And you can add to that...
