Tesla just increased the base price of the Model S by another $5000. Combine this with the three previous $5k increases after we ordered our S in May 2021, plus the $2k increase for FSD, plus additional miscellaneous increases, and it all adds up to $23,600 more than what I paid for my S when I took delivery in Jan 2022. Amazing. Never in my life have I purchased a new car that gained value after I bought it. And I don't have to worry about gas prices ever again, as we no longer have an ICE vehicle in the family ( we also have a 2020 Model 3 ).
My wife and I love our new S, but I really wonder if we would have ordered the same car at a price of almost $120k, compared to the $96k we paid. Our budget for the vehicle was $100k, so I kind of doubt we would have ordered the car with the new pricing. Damn, we got lucky.
