The lowest price for a Model 3 is now $44,990 and a Model Y $57,990.

The price increase coincides with the addition of Midnight Silver Metallic paint as a standard color, which had previously been a $1,000 option.

The change appears to be in response to a suggestion made to Elon Musk on Twitter last month to offer a different included color other than Obsidian White, which has been the standard for some time.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Musk has previously indicated that the price adjustments are due to the parts supply and delivery issues affecting the automotive industry and, according to the consumer website, new custom orders won't be delivered until at least June of next year.
