This move comes as part of the automaker's strategy to clear out inventory and meet sales targets.

Unlike traditional automakers that rely on a franchise dealer model, Tesla directly sells its vehicles to customers. This approach means that any vehicles remaining in inventory at the end of a quarter can negatively impact Tesla's financials, even if most of them are already sold to customers.

As part of its end-of-quarter incentive, Tesla has previously employed various strategies such as discounts and direct incentives. However, this quarter, the company took a different approach by temporarily reducing prices on the Model Y. Now, Tesla is signaling a price increase for all Model Y trims at the end of the month, in a move to encourage customers to proceed with their orders sooner.

By implementing these tactics repeatedly, Tesla has created a pattern where consumers are more inclined to make a purchase at the end of a quarter to take advantage of potential discounts. While this approach helps Tesla meet its quarterly goals, it raises concerns about a lack of steady sales throughout the quarter.

As an added incentive, Tesla is also offering three months of free Full Self-Driving package for customers who purchase with a referral code. It appears that Tesla is exploring various strategies to find the most effective sales tactic, constantly adapting its approach to ensure success.

However, the predictability of end-of-quarter discounts has become a common occurrence, with consumers now aware that buying a Tesla at the end of a quarter may yield better deals. While this benefits buyers, it could potentially disrupt sales flow during the first two months of a quarter.

It remains to be seen how Tesla's latest end-of-quarter price increase will impact sales and inventory levels. As always, customers are encouraged to stay updated with the latest news from Tesla and explore their options during these periods of fluctuating prices.
