Tesla has increased the price of its entry Model 3 and Model Y tonight, by $1,000 in the United States (via @SawyerMerritt).
Another major change is the fact Midnight Silver Metallic (MSM) is now a free color, joining Pearl White Multi-Coat.
Previously, MSM was $1,000 USD extra. Also, Solid Black is now a $1,500 extra option, instead of $500 USD for both Model 3 and Model Y. That’s a huge price increase for Solid Black.
The Model 3 RWD now starts at $44,990 (previously $43,990) USD. The Model 3 RWD in Pearl White Multi-Coat has a delivery estimate of September 2022, while Silver is May 2022.
As for the entry Model Y Long Range, it now starts at $57,990 USD, an increase of $1,000 from $56,990 USD.
The Model Y Performance now starts at $62,990 USD.
Midnight Silver Metallic is also now a free color, joining Pearl White Multi-Coat, when previously it was $1,000 USD extra. Also in a change, Solid Black is now $1,500 USD extra.
Tesla also has made upgraded wheels the default choice, so unsuspecting new owners will need to manually downgrade wheels if they want to save a few bucks. However, upgraded wheels do have quicker delivery dates, so opening your wallet does pay off it appears.
Back in early October, Tesla increased the price of its Model 3 and Model Y by $2,000 USD. The company is facing high demand, while a federal EV credit appears to be looming.
MSM is still a premium color in Canada at $1,300 CAD extra.
Good point, will discuss with team. Floki pic tomorrow.

In early October, Tesla CEO was asked about offering more free colors instead of white. He replied he would “discuss with team”.
