Tesla Australia has increased the prices of its Model 3 sedan and Model Y midsize SUV, just weeks after it lowered prices by up to $3100.
But as of late February 2023, the Model 3 is now $400 more expensive, now starting from $64,300 before on-road costs for the base rear-wheel drive variant.
For a dual-motor, prices now start at $77,300 before on-road costs for the long range variant, while the flagship performance dual-motor now costs $90,300 before on-road costs.
Prices for the Model 3 have gone up slightly after previous price reductions
Despite the increase, Tesla has positioned its Model 3 cheaper than Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 which starts from $72,000 before on-road costs for the Dynamiq rear-wheel drive.
The flagship Ioniq 5, the Epiq all-wheel drive, costs $85,000 before on-road costs, more than $5000 cheaper than the Tesla Model 3’s flagship performance variant.
