Tesla Vehicle Prices Increase

The automaker also delayed U.S. deliveries of some long-range models by up to a month.

Tesla raised prices for its car models in the U.S. due to supply chain issues and rising costs of raw materials, according to Reuters.

The Model 3 Long Range saw a rise of $2,500. 

Both Model Y versions went up with the Long Range by $3,000 and the Performance by $2,000. 

The Long Range Model S price increased by $5,000.

The Model X experienced the most significant spike, with the Long Range going up by $6,000. 

The automaker also delayed U.S. deliveries of some long-range models by up to a month. 

CEO Elon Musk blamed lithium for the higher prices and has expressed interest in Tesla buying a mining company. 

Layoffs at the company have also begun since Musk, citing a “super bad feeling” about the economy, said Tesla was considering cutting 10 percent of its workforce.
