Tesla has again raised prices for all of its car models in the United States.

This is a consequence of the ongoing problems in the global supply chain and rising commodity prices.

The company is raising the price of the long-range Y model from $ 62,990 to $ 65,990 after several deliveries were delayed for another month.

The 5 percent increase comes as a result of rising prices for raw materials for aluminum and lithium, which are used in cars and batteries.

Car manufacturers are struggling to buy chips and other components due to shortages across the industry.

Global investment bank Credit Suisse said the price increase in some cases represents the fourth price increase in the United States in 2022. "Some price increases are likely to reduce demand.

Also, Tesla still has limitations in its offer at the moment. "

Elon Musk has previously said that lithium is responsible for rising costs and that it is a "limiting factor" for increasing EV.

He suggested car manufacturers start a lithium business.

Also, Rival Rivian Automotive has raised prices by more than $ 10,000 for new orders for its base model.

Rivian chief financial officer Claire McDonough told Deutsche Bank's Global Vehicle Conference that customers are choosing the most advanced models despite rising prices.

Some carmakers are expected to deliver EV customers for the first time in their race to catch Teslan amid growing demand.

In recent weeks, Musk has warned of the risk of a recession.

Earlier this month, Musk said he had a "super bad feeling" about the economy and that Tesla should lay off 10 percent of its workers.

Also, Musk, who is in the process of acquiring Twitter, is expected to address the company's employees and answer their questions soon.
