March 2022 - Tesla Model Y Increases price by $1,000

Do you not understand how supply and demand works? It's not shady if you charge everyone the same price.

Supply and demand is why adms exist.
And I have an MS in economic theory.

Looks like Russia is largest Nickel exporter. If you can put 1+1 you will no why prices are up.

Simplifying the *why* pricing keeps going up to a single strawman / cause is making my head hurt. We're basically now in year 3 of what has been chaos since Covid-19 went global, unmasking the complexity of global supply chains, labor market dynamics, and now add the precipice of WW3 on top.

Stay tuned for the March data, which will reflect current geopolitical events even more sharply.

100% agreed. Also, wait for China’s Taiwan invasion which is coming and will destroy the chip supply.

Man, I wish all countries would stop waging wars and special operations bs. One human race living on one tiny rock in the middle of the empty space.

You know what I meant. No intelligent life in our system as far as we know. We are all we got and we need to take care of ourselves and our planet.

I think this was a long time coming - supply chain shortages were supposed to last till 2023, and this was before the Russia-Ukraine issue. Prices for EV raw material has just simply gone up so, while Rivian & Tesla are the first to announce the price increases, other manufacturers will (I predict) follow suit in the next 3 months.

I don’t think china will do that. At least I hope not. China has taken a long long time to grow their economy. They know a move like that would bring their economy to its knees. Besides the US holds most of chinas debt so they wouldn’t get that money back! It’s not like Russia. The Russian economy was small to start off with. I think china is more focused on prosperity and wealth than power. The opposite is true for Russia.

I really hope so.
