Tesla has raised the prices of its Model Y and Model 3 variants by a modest $250 (R4,591) each, pricing details available on the company's website showed.
The Tesla Model Y now has a base price of $47,240 (R867,616), while the Model Y Long-Range crossover and Performance variant are priced at $50,240 (R922,743) and $54,240 (R996,210), respectively.
The company now offers its most affordable version Model 3 at $40,240 (R739,076), while the performance variant is for $53,240 (R977,832).
