Tesla Motors has announced that the Model S electric luxury sedan will soon get a price increase.
The price increase will not apply to anyone with an existing reservation prior to the effective date of the price increase and who also configures their car and finalizes their order within a fair, predefined timeframe.
There will be a few “options package” changes as part of the price increase (meaning some things that are currently considered standard equipment may become part of an optional package going forward). These changes will not apply to anyone with an existing Model S reservation prior to the effective date of the price increase who also configures their car and finalizes their order within a fair, predefined timeframe.
All reservation holders who have “deferred” will receive an email regarding the price increase and will have the opportunity to keep current pricing and options packages by finalizing their configuration and order within a fair, predefined time frame, similar to those who did not defer.
This price increase is planned to be announced with full details, effective dates, pricing and options packages in the next two to three weeks.
The Model S has been well-received and this year won Motor Trend’s 2013 Car of the Year and Automobile’s 2013 Car of the Year, marking the first time an all-electric car has won that honor.
