It is quite normal for the price of a car to increase or decrease depending on various parameters. For example, the increase in the cost of raw materials, as it has been for several months. But overall, price changes remain reasonable. Except for Tesla. The American firm is indeed very well known for yo-yoing with the prices of its cars, which obviously doesn’t always sit well with customers who sometimes feel offended when they have bought their car for a high price before a heavy fall. But the brand’s goal is simple: to lower prices as much as possible to increase sales and fill the market.

A small increase

Thus, the manufacturer significantly reduced the prices of its Model 3 and Model Y, and then the Model S and Model X to a lesser extent. But a few days ago, Tesla backed down and finally raised the price of its compact SUV by $1,000. On the other hand, the sedan will not be affected by this increase. However, this now applies to the Model S and Model X, which are experiencing a bit of inflation. sedan increases by 2,500 euros in a few days to increase to 106,490 euros. An increase that thus remains rather imperceptible at this price level, especially since it does not qualify for an environmental bonus.

It is about two models

The powerful version of Plaid, with a capacity of more than 1000 horsepower, was also not spared. Indeed, the sedan also increases its price by €2,500 to reach a tidy sum of €131,490. For its part, the price of the Model Y is going up as well, unsurprisingly. So its base price is now passing from 111,490 to 114,490 euros. The Plaid version is now priced from €134,490. The technical characteristics of the two cars do not change one iota.
