Tesla hits brakes on retail store closures, will raise prices instead

The price hike won't apply to its much-anticipated $35,000 Model 3 (getting this to market was the reason for the original closure plan) and won't come into effect until March 18 -- so you still have a week to get your order in if you've been mulling it over.
A couple of closed stores in "high visibility locations" will reopen with smaller crews, and stores will carry a reduced inventory for people who can't wait to get their cars.
