Tesla raised the prices on Model S a few mins ago with a price adjustment of $5,000. Also Model 3 at $46,990.

Saw it coming a mile away…

... Biden has nothing to do with this.

Inflation is up around the entire world.

But in this case specifically, it's a supply/demand thing. Tesla is selling basically everything they make - it's in their own vested interest to raise prices. Because why not?

I mean, I know everyone always like to blame whomever the sitting president is (regardless of who it is) for everything, but factually speaking, (as opposed to blaming windmills, for example), the current state of Tesla is mainly tied to global supply chain issues with a dash of a crazed man invading a nation that has a fair amount of nickel (batteries need this)

Wow. Can't say I'm shocked but that's a big bump for Model S, especially considering all of the increases this year. Definitely lowers in my interest in trading into an S LR or Plaid with prices that keep climbing.

Can't forget about Shenzhen being closed down for Covid. Going to have massive negative supply issues for all industries. But, yeah people want to blame sleepy Joe....

Blown away by the fact that a new Model S is $25k more than I paid for mine just a little over 2 years ago

Of course, had I invested the money into Tesla stock at the time instead of buying a car, the $25k uplift wouldn't have bothered me at all

 

[2101Guy]

I thought the S had increased a total of $20k in price hikes since its introduction, not $25k?

 

[sorka]

Ordered my MXP on new years eve for $19K less than it is now. Wife was pissed at first. Now she's like "when are we getting it already????"

The recent price increase brings the top trim 2022 Model S Plaid to match the same price of the 2018 Model S P100DL. The LR is now (slightly) more expensive than the equivalent 100D.

Chart shows trims available to order online in US. Includes L option. Trims are combined for simplicity. The chart and and others can be found here,

$20k on the base + $5k on FSD

Does Ukraine export a lot of nickel?

 

[tedzilla88]

yea no kidding, was just about to put in an order for a model 3

Well, at least we got in before the $6k price increase... Though, that's only a 4.6% increase, which is less than inflation. Either way, should help with resale.

Considering the Model S was about $80K (about a year ago post-refresh, but was as low as $69420 pre-refresh), I'd say that's a 25% price increase.

True. Good point. I was referring to the Plaid. $120k base if you got in before it was revealed, otherwise $130k.

Yeah, the refresh S at $80k was kind of a steal, if you don't mind all the bugs and flaws.... Now at $100k for a Base Model S, it seems overpriced. The Model 3 has a lot fewer flaws for a lot less.

I'm at three service trips so far post delivery to fix the problems with my Plaid. No end in sight. No fixes yet for the vibrations, the buzzing yoke, or the console light.

Tesla stock looks tempting here in the mid-$800s.

I paid $164K for my P100D in 2016 so these prices are still a bargain for a much better car in 2022.
