The Long Range versions of the Model S And Model X are each $10,000 more expensive than a month ago.
Tesla has just increased the base prices of the Model S Long Range and Model X Long Range versions again by $5,000, or 6% and 5%, respectively.
Considering the previous $5,000 increase reported on July 9, the price is now $10,000 higher than a month ago! Moreover, the estimated delivery time for new orders is now March–April, 2022.
Here are details:
Model S Long Range AWD: up $5,000 (or 5.9%) from $84,990 to $89,990
Model X Long Range AWD: up $5,000 (or 5.3%) from $94,990 to $99,990. . . .
We guess that the $5,000 price hikes are not that much related to costs or supply chain issues, but rather a direct result of supply and demand. Tesla likely increases prices to benefit from a very strong demand.
An indication that this is exactly the case is the increased estimated delivery time (new orders) of non-performance versions of basically all models.
On the other hand, prices of the Performance versions (Model 3/Y) remain unchanged, while the estimated delivery times are shorter than before.
According to Tesla, Model S/X ordered today will be delivered no earlier than in 2022. The Model 3/Y Long Range versions are also sold out for the next couple of months. . . .
