But that wasn't the only change made over the weekend. As Electrek notes, pricing of the Model Y has also been increased by $1,000 across the board. The Long Range Model Y, for example, was to start at $47,000, and early orders placed on that car reflected that amount. Now, however, the base price of that car is $48,000. The top-shelf Model Y Performance has increased from $60,000 to $61,000. We've reached out to Tesla for clarification on these changes. In Tesla's defense, traditional car companies frequently change the pricing of their cars as well. However, those changes are typically handled at the dealership level through incentives or other offers. This leaves the standard MSRP fixed. Tesla generally eschews incentive pricing, meaning any changes to the cost of its cars must be handled at a higher, and thus more public, level. That said, changing the pricing structure on a car that's still 18 months away, just weeks after its unveiling, is unusual to say the least.
