Prices have increased by between 5 to 10 percent, with the cheapest car the company sells \u2014 the Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive \u2014 now starting at $46,990, while its top-end Model X Tri motor saw a price increase of $12,500, from $126,490 to $138,990. <\/p>\n<p id=\"m0bU7d\">It\u2019s the second price bump Tesla has implemented in less than a week, after it increased the cost of certain long-range models <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2022\/03\/09\/tesla-increases-prices-long-range-versions-of-model-3-y-nickel-prices-surge\/\">last Wednesday<\/a>. However, today\u2019s price raises are not only more substantial than last week\u2019s but apply to every vehicle the company sells.<\/p>\n<p id=\"nITTh6\">Here\u2019s how those increases play out (with old prices sourced from archived copies of Tesla\u2019s website via Wayback Machine, dated to March 10th or more recent):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"HmSibd\">\n<strong>Model 3<\/strong> <strong>Rear-Wheel Drive:<\/strong> $44,990 to $46,990<\/li>\n<li id=\"ryddiO\">\n<strong>Model 3<\/strong> <strong>Long Range: <\/strong>$51,990 to $54,490<\/li>\n<li id=\"WIGFHT\">\n<strong>Model 3 Performance: <\/strong>$58,990 to $61,990<\/li>\n<li id=\"qeXBVA\">\n<strong>Model Y Long Range: <\/strong>$59,990 to $62,990<\/li>\n<li id=\"e1Ovra\">\n<strong>Model Y Performance: <\/strong>$64,990 to $67,990<\/li>\n<li id=\"zftjtD\">\n<strong>Model S Dual Motor: <\/strong>$94,990 to $99,990<\/li>\n<li id=\"gJTeNj\">\n<strong>Model S Tri Motor: <\/strong>$129,990 to $135,990<\/li>\n<li id=\"VpmrCO\">\n<strong>Model X Dual Motor: <\/strong>$104,990 to $114,990<\/li>\n<li id=\"o8c9oP\">\n<strong>Model X Tri Motor: <\/strong>$126,490 to $138,990<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"NcYyUf\">Tesla and its otherwise-garrulous CEO Elon Musk have yet to comment specifically on the new price increases, but a number of factors have likely played a part.
