Tesla has implemented a significant price increase for its entire line of vehicles in one of the nightly updates to its online configurator.
His cheapest Model 3 electric car now starts at $47,000.
We suspected this would happen after Elon Musk announced on Twitter that both Tesla and SpaceX were facing significant inflation, but there is now a significant increase in the price of Tesla vehicles.
Throughout 2021, Tesla vehicles have experienced significant incremental price increases.
Things will start off calmly in 2022, but last week Tesla implemented its first price hike of the year, adding an additional $1,000 for all vehicles equipped with long-range battery packs.
This new price update now includes a larger price increase.
The rear-wheel-drive Model 3, Tesla’s cheapest car, is up $2,000 today to $46,990:
The Model 3 Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive is up $2,500 to $54,500, but as mentioned earlier, it also got a $1,000 boost last week.
The 3 Performance model also received a massive $3,000 increase to $61,990.
For the Model Y, Tesla increased the base price by $2,000 to $62,990:
The Performance version of the electric SUV also received a $3,000 price increase to $67,990.
As for the flagship Model S and Model X, they were not spared by the wave of price increases.
The Model S is now $4,99,990 — $5,000 more than the previous price:

The Performance version also received a $5,000 price increase.
Surprisingly, the Model X has stayed safe in many of Tesla’s previous price hikes, but not this time.
The price of the electric SUV has gone up $10,000 and now starts at $114,990:
The Plaid version has also gone up a lot, and now it’s finally outselling the Model S Plaid, which didn’t make sense.
All of these price increases across the line only apply to new orders placed today and in the future. For most versions, Tesla specifies delivery times of at least a few months – until the end of the year for the cheapest versions.
As we reported last week, Tesla has recently seen a significant increase in orders, which seems to be due to increased interest in electric vehicles due to rising gasoline prices.
