Hollis Johnson/Business Insider Tesla Model 3.
Tesla has raised the price of its least-expensive Model 3 sedan from $35,000 to $35,400, CNN reported.
The electric-car maker did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment about the change.In February, the company began allowing customers to order the $35,000 Model 3, known as the standard-range trim, but less than two months later it removed the standard-range trim from its online-order page, saying customers could order it only by phone or in one of the company's stores.
Tesla said demand for the standard-range trim was much lower than that for the standard-range-plus trim, which starts at $39,900, and said removing the standard-range trim from the online menu would increase efficiency and lower costs. The company also said standard-range customers would receive standard-range-plus Model 3s with software that would reduce their range and restrict some capabilities.Have you worked for Tesla?
