They did. Then they stopped. https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/16/21569524/tesla-model-3-3...

The model 3 is still the 7th most sold car in 2022.

Is a car company not allowed to raise prices? Like what standard are you holding tesla to? If they can sell a tesla for $42k, why sell it for $35k? Because Elon said so in 2015? That's ridiculous, its just not how markets or companies work. And they DID sell it for $35,000, for a while. So Elon didn't even lie.

Absolutely ridiculous the mental gymnastics some people will go to to hate the guy. Insane.

They sold it for a few days at that price a few years after the car launched. I tried to buy one for that price. They said no.

Of course they can raise prices, but they can also lie about what price the car will be sold at in the future.

I later bought one for more than 35k.

There are no mental gymnastics. Musk said I could buy one at a specific price. Tesla would not sell it to me at that price.
