Tesla, Inc. TSLA has reversed some of the downward price adjustments for its premium model vehicles, shortly after the stock slumped nearly 10% in reaction to the company's quarterly results.
What Happened: Updated price information available on Tesla's website showed price hikes ranging from 2.4% to 4.3% for the Model S and Model X vehicles. It was only in early April that the electric vehicle maker took down the prices of these two models by about 5% each.
Here's the updated pricing for each of the two variants of the two models.
Model S
- Dual-motor all-wheel drive, or AWD, Model S: $87,490, up 2.94% from $84,990
- Tri-motor, AWD Model S Plaid: $109,490, up 4.29% from $104,990
Model X
- Dual-motor AWD Model X: $97,490, up 2.63% from $94,990
- Tri-motor, AWD Model X Plaid: $107,490, up 2.38% from $104,990
Incidentally, Tesla lowered prices of all three variants of the Model Y vehicles and the base model rear-wheel-drive Model 3 late Tuesday, a day ahead of releasing its quarterly results.
