Tesla raised its prices in the US for the second time in less than two weeks, its website showed, after having slashed prices six times this year through mid-April.
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).
Tesla has cut prices globally since January, including in the US , seeking to drive volume, especially for its mass-market cars, the Model Y crossover and the Model 3 sedan.
CEO Elon Musk last month signalled the EV maker would prioritise sales growth ahead of profit in a weak economy even though Tesla's gross margins fell to a more than two-year low in the first quarter.
However, a few after that, Tesla announced its first US price hike.
