I believe Tesla when they say they are production constrained. I don't know why people commonly accuse them of lying with no proof. Changing prices is not proof.

It's true they have changed prices quite a bit. They have had many conflicting adjustments to work around. The phase out of the tax credits (at the beginning of the 2019 and in the middle of the year), the promise to deliver a $35,000 sedan. Also Models S/X demand has fluctuated due to osbourne effect, and model 3 cannibalization.

Furthermore, they have raised prices. The model 3 starts at $39,490. Up from a low of $35,000.



they eliminated the base model, they didn't raise prices


A couple weeks ago they raised prices too. Both the SR+ and the Performance went up several hundred dollars.

You can also still buy the base model, it's just not in the online store.
