Tesla has implemented a very small price increase on Model 3 and Model Y. It\u2019s so small that it\u2019s hard to explain, but it does result in a discount on new inventory vehicles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After consistently and gradually increasing its electric vehicle prices over the last two years, Tesla has started bringing those prices down in 2023 to keep demand up.<\/p>\n

It started with\u00a0a big price drop in early January<\/a>, and then some smaller price adjustments after with the latest coming in February for\u00a0Model 3 and Model Y<\/a>, and last month for\u00a0Model S and Model X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We thought Tesla would take a break from reducing prices, but the automaker\u00a0again slashed prices across its entire lineup<\/a>, and again<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n

As we reported last night, Tesla updated its Model 3 and Model Y configurations<\/a> to increase the price of all trims by $250.<\/p>\n

The fact that the price adjustment is an increase, which goes against the trend this year, and a very small one is puzzling. <\/p>\n

Previously, Tesla has changed prices by up to several thousand dollars at once or as little as $500, but it\u2019s the first time the automaker has made an adjustment by such a small amount.<\/p>\n

While the small amount isn\u2019t likely to have much of an impact, it is still surprising that it is an increase considering Tesla\u2019s new vehicle inventory reached a new high last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One thing that we didn\u2019t notice at first is that this time, the price change didn\u2019t affect Tesla\u2019s new inventory vehicles, unlike all the recent price decreases.<\/p>\n

Tesla generally adjusts new inventory vehicles, which are considered brand-new vehicles eligible for the federal tax credit just like new build orders, with every price adjustment, but not this time.<\/p>\n

Electrek<\/em> checked new inventory vehicles in the US and the same configurations are now discounted by $250 over new orders:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Again, the difference is not significant, but it is a change for Tesla and could indicate a new strategy to try to move some inventory, which again has recently reached new highs.<\/p>\n
