"Model 3 was the best-selling premium sedan in the world, outselling long-time industry leaders such as the 3 Series and E Class. This demonstrates that an electric vehicle can be a category leader and outsell its gas-powered counterparts." I find this to be a major milestone in the transition to BEV. This is an achievement.
I'm surprised by how micro-managey Tesla is with their Model 3/Y prices. Most manufacturers release a static MSRP for that model year. However, Tesla the past year was dropping prices $500-$1,000 periodically. And then as of last month, has raised prices $500-$1,000 twice.
Other manufacturers are manage prices with consumer and dealer incentives. If you pay attention to car promotions, there's almost always a lot of differences in consumer cash back by model. Some manufacturers almost always have a baseline cash back, but if they want to raise prices, they can reduce that; if there's a model they want to move, it gets more, etc. Premium brands like to push leases and run promotions there. For the manufacturers with a captive finance company, there's even more room to play with pricing there.
I don't think Tesla runs promotions like that, so if they want to change the price, they have to change the price.
