I don’t know about you but the higher share price from higher profits outweigh the higher costs of the car.As an investor and TSLA shareholder I agree, given the current demand raising prices makes sense.
As a consumer hoping to buy my first Tesla next year, a Model Y LR, I am upset because the price of my next car keeps climbing higher and higher. At this point I'll likely just keep my current 2015 Subaru Crosstrek much longer than I intended until the prices of Tesla's fall again. I don't care how wealthy I am, as a frugal individual I do not like paying more for a product than I want to, and right now the price of a LR MY is more than I'd want to spend.
Thankfully I do love my little Crosstrek, and if my TSLA shares skyrocket quicker than I expect then frack it I'll pay whatever Tesla wants for a Model Y.
My only regret when buying my Tesla was that I didn’t buy it sooner.
