Different MSRP pricing on 2022 Model 3

[JWLV]

I'm looking at two different 2022 Model 3 Long Range vehicles. Both look the same except for the paint color. One is white, the other is blue.
But when I look up both VINs at the Nevada DMV, it shows one vehicle MSRP is $57,990 and the other MSRP is $50990. That's a difference of $7000.

I can't tell exactly what the difference between the two vehicles besides the paint color. I've verified that neither has enhanced autopilot or full self driving. They have just the basic autopilot. Any ideas why the MSRP is different?

The Blue color had a premium over white paint. Also if the interior of the blue car is white, that also came with a hefty premium as well.

1k and 1k. 2k should be the difference.
Odd

The DMV listings are incomplete, so I wouldn’t put much stock in their MSRP estimates.

Tesla Car Price History says that the 2022 LR base prices ranged from $49,990 to $57,990 during various parts of the model year 2022.

Perhaps the NV DMV recorded the MSRP as purchased, and the two cars were purchased at different times in the 2022 model year when prices were different?

Yes I bought mine in 2022 and there were price increases every couple months it seemed. I got in about 1/2 way up.

I forgot to mention that the white one is the $57990 (top picture from DMV) and the blue one is $50990 (bottom picture).

The MSRP makes a difference on what the yearly registration fee is paid to the DMV. It's not a huge difference, but it is around $125 per year due to the $7000 MSRP difference.

The VIN of the blue one with MSRP $50,999 shows it for sale by Hertz, and title history (through Autocheck) starting on July 6, 2022. This is relatively late in the 2022 model year. Could it be that Hertz ordered it much earlier with staggered delivery of a large batch of cars? Normal retail orders when the base price was $48,990 (mid-2021) were likely delivered near the beginning of the 2022 model year (late 2021 or early 2022).

It looks like the other one is sold, since searching the VIN shows no current listing for sale (from which an Autocheck or Carfax history if provided by the seller would give some clue).
