It's due to the US$ currency.
We need a 2 trillion dollar study to determine the cause. No worries, the government can just print the money.

The only model eligible for a rebate in Canada is the SR+ as well, and over 80% of Model 3's sold here are SR+. With the excellent Tesla stability control software, RWD is fine with proper winter tires.The only Tesla that still is elgible is the SR+ and nobody wants a RWD car in New England.
Also the battery weight. SR+ with good winter tires is totally fine for winterThe only model eligible for a rebate in Canada is the SR+ as well, and over 80% of Model 3's sold here are SR+. With the excellent Tesla stability control software, RWD is fine with proper winter tires.
Nonsense.Raise the price arbitrarily!
Tesla is hurting for money now that bitcoin has crashed (again).
It can't keep showing profits based on cryptocurrency appreciation
. Need more money when selling a production constrained product? Raise the price arbitrarily!
Cash ≠ profit...wut?
Tesla has like 17 billion dollars in cash sitting around.
Probably why they stopped accepting a depreciating currency as a form of payment. Selling Bitcoin to make a quarterly profit as an auto maker is a loaf of baloney and Wall Street reacted appropriately.Tesla can not count any appreciation in BTC unless it sells it.
It was just enough to make them profitable. Without the BTC sale, Tesla would have been IN THE RED for the quarter. That's disturbing.Which they have only done once, ever, so far and only a tiny fraction of their holding, representing only a tiny fraction of profit for that one quarter.
The only thing systemic about Tesla's nonsensical price maneuvers is Elon's aspergers.Seems a lot more systemic than arbitrary- and seems squarely aimed at capturing some of the coming refreshed EV tax credit.
There is currently no "refreshed EV tax credit" and will not be unless Biden's infrastructure plan passes Congress. Right now it seems unlikely. I wouldn't bank on any credits at this time. Anyone buying a Tesla expecting a credit is gambling with an unlikely scenario.Remember Tesla kept walking prices DOWN as the tax credit got smaller and eventually expired. They're just partly reversing that ahead of a new one.

I wouldn't buy a car and bet on a tax credit based on how I think Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are going to vote. It may very well happen, and I hope it does, but any talk of this is premature and folks buying cars counting on this credit smacks of wishful thinking. To each their own.Not sure why you say that.
Democrats have 1 more use of reconciliation left this year
it's going to be used to pass the infrastructure bill... though specifics aren't done yet.
Instead we'll get another few weeks at least of kabuki theater as the republicans pretend they're interested in "negotiating"
Eventually the democrats will decide the play acting went on long enough, point out there's no compromise to be had with the other side, throw a few bones in the final bill to Manchin, and pass it with 50 votes in the senate and VP Harris breaking the tie.
It's gonna have SOME version of a revised EV tax credit in it.
Likely a refundable or POS one, likely with a significantly higher/longer lifespan, and likely with a cap on value to exclude super expensive cars (or an income cap)

I bought LR w Accel Boost and now after 4K miles selling it to get P. The acceleration is still noticeable on P and cornering is night/day. Thankfully it’s a T so my resale is only losing money on taxes paid.I think $46,990 was the original price before the price cut, so it looks like it went back. They probably did this because people were buying the LR with Accel Boost over getting a P.
Carmax has ‘21 MY with 4K mikes for $64,500.Performance model is up a full 2K from when I ordered in January!

For a while, the increased value of the Canadian dollar more than offset the need for a price increase but now that the dollar value has fallen there's a chance the prices may go up.anybody knows why no price increase in Canada?
Red paint was never $1000. It was always $2000.In addition to hikes in the base model, they’ve been hiking certain options. Two weeks ago red paint went from $1000 to $2000. Today The 19” when went from $1000 to $1500
