The Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Aren't Affordable Anymore

March 11, 2022

Remember when Tesla said its long-term plan was to eventually be able to build a high quantity of vehicles with prices that would get lower for each successive model? Review Geek does. That’s why we’re (totally not) surprised to learn that Tesla just increased the prices for both the Model 3 and Model Y … again.

Now those vehicles are even less affordable than ever (if you could ever really label them as such). In today’s top story, we dug in and explored Tesla’s price increases across multiple models, and what the increases mean. Give it a click to see all the details.

Other Highlights: 

• Man, Samsung’s new Galaxy S22 smartphone series is gorgeous, but also super expensive. Here are the best Galaxy S22 alternatives.
• It’s a-me, Princess Peach! LEGO Super Mario (finally) gets a Princess Peach expansion, and we’re here for it.
• People are complaining that their Pixel’s fingerprint reader get worse recently, and we think we know what the culprit is.
• … and more!

The gift card can also be used for in-game purchases like add-ons or for in-game currency. It’s an easy way to treat yourself or surprise the gamer in your life.
