Tesla has just changed the prices of its electric cars in the U.S. - once again, just several weeks after the last change. The update concerns Model 3 and Model Y only.

The bad news is that this time prices increased by $500 or $1,000 depending on the version.

In the case of the Model 3, the Standard Range Plus and Long Range AWD become $500 more expensive ($38,490 and $47,490 respectively), while the Performance version now costs $1,000 more ($56,990).

Model Y has a single change - the Long Range AWD version is $500 more expensive ($50,490). The Performance version stays at $60,990.

The change is small, but in some cases, it might result in ineligibility for state incentives. Our reader points out that $50,000 (exceeded by Model Y) is the limit in Oregon.

Another change is that the Model 3 interior changed a little bit and now has "wood" trim that extends from the dash to the doors, just like in the Made-in-China versions.

Since Tesla does not report changes, there might be other elements updated as well.
