Tesla has increased Model S and Model X prices, following several massive price cuts to its flagship models, but it is also giving three years of free Supercharging to new buyers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of the year, Tesla has been cutting prices across its entire vehicle lineup.<\/p>\n

Model S and Model X saw the most significant price drops and following another wave of price cuts <\/a>earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Tesla\u2019s flagship sedan was now starting at $85,000 and its flagship electric SUV was starting at $95,000.<\/p>\n

Now a new overnight update to its online configurator, Tesla increased the price of the Model S by $2,500:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The increase applies to both the base Long Range version and the Plaid top performance version.<\/p>\n

But Tesla has also added three years of free Supercharging for all new purchases.<\/p>\n

The same offer has been applied to the Model X:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

As we noted during Tesla\u2019s production and delivery results for Q1 2023, there was a large discrepancy between Tesla\u2019s Model S\/X production and its deliveries in Q1.<\/p>\n

The automaker claimed it was due to a large number of those vehicles being in transit to Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n

Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n

This seems to be another demand trigger for Tesla. <\/p>\n

At the Model S and Model X price range, three years of free Supercharging is probably a bigger demand creator than a $2,500 price cut.<\/p>\n

It does seem that Tesla has issues selling Model S and Model X based on inventory popping up and the large number of inventory vehicles at the end of the quarter. I know that Tesla claimed that end-of-quarter transit was the issue, and I\u2019m sure that this is partly true, but I think a lack of orders also contributed.<\/p>\n

The fact that Model S\/X are the only Tesla vehicles that don\u2019t qualify for the new federal tax credit probably also contributed to softening in demand for Tesla\u2019s flagship models.<\/p>\n
