In a recent update, Tesla has made a slight increase in the price of its popular Model Y electric vehicle in the United States. According to information available on the company’s website, the price of one variant has been raised by a mere $250, bringing the new price to $47,740. However, the prices for the other variants of the Model Y remain unchanged in the U.S.
This adjustment marks the third price hike for the Model Y since April 19, when Tesla previously reduced prices for some of its vehicles in the country. In May, the company had implemented a modest increase in the prices of its Model S, Model X, and Model Y vehicles, applying low single-digit percentage increments.
Tesla has been strategically adjusting prices worldwide since January, aiming to boost sales volume. CEO Elon Musk has expressed the company’s willingness to sacrifice profit margins in exchange for higher sales figures. At the same time, Tesla has also considered selectively raising prices whenever feasible.
Despite the recent price increase on Tuesday, the current price of the Model Y remains 4.5% below its price prior to the earlier reduction in April. These price adjustments are part of Tesla’s ongoing efforts to optimize market positioning and maintain a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving electric vehicle market.
