Tesla may have started its journey to manufacture affordable electric vehicles, but it proved to be a difficult task.

In 2006, Elon Musk announced that he has a master plan for his electric vehicle company Tesla in a blog post. He said his long-term goal was to build a wide range of models, including affordably priced family cars. The master plan was to build a sports car, use the money obtained from the sports car to create an affordable car, and use that money to build an even more affordable car. He would provide zero-emission electric power generation while building affordable electric vehicles. He realized most of his master plan but looks like he failed to provide affordable EVs.

As the world is still dealing with the supply chain disruptions and semi-conductor shortages due to the COVID-19 pandemic, prices of both internal combustion and electric vehicles increase.

Tesla keeps increasing the prices of its different models from time to time, let’s take a look at how Tesla increased its electric vehicles’ price in about a year.

Model S $99,990

The cheapest version of the Tesla Model S starts at $99,990, while it was at  $84,990 on July 8, 2021. The vehicle is far more expensive than the Model 3, but Model S offers way more features as it is a luxury sedan. The vehicle has a range of 405 miles (651 km), but drivers have to pay attention to their speedometers, as the vehicle shouldn’t go above 70 mph (112 kph) as well as use the aero wheels with low resistance tires.

Top speed: 145 mph (233 kph)
Acceleration: 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds

Model 3 Performance $62,990

Tesla’s Model 3 Performance is another vehicle that well deserves the “performance” in its name, with a top speed of 162 mph (260 kph). The vehicle has four-wheel drive and not one but two electric motors, so it is even quicker. Indeed, the Model 3 Performance goes from 0-60mph (0-100 kph) in just 3.3 seconds. The fast electric vehicle’s price increased from $56,990 on July 22, 2021, to $62,990 in almost a year.

In comparison, the higher-priced Model S offers only 28 cubic feet (0.79 cubic meters) of cargo space. But the lower price tag of the Model Y also comes at a loss of some range, acceleration, and top-speed over the Model S. The vehicle costs $62,990, but it was costing $55,190 on July 23, 2021.

Range: 318 miles (511 km)

Model Y performance did cost $62,190 on July 23, 2021, but now its $67,990.
