Model S Demand Skyrockets: Prices Surge and Must-Have Accessories Revealed
Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you've been keeping an eye on the Tesla market, you've probably noticed something huge: Model S demand is off the charts. It makes total sense—buyers are rushing in, realizing this might be their last chance to snag one before things shift. Add in skyrocketing gas prices and the EV boom, and Tesla's lineup is hotter than ever.
Inventory Flying Off the Shelves (and a Price Hike Surprise)
Shoutout to Dan for spotting this gem: tons of Model S Plaids are already pending or pre-sold on Carvana. People are flocking to grab them ASAP. Tesla's website showed inventory dipping fast for the Plaid and base Model S/X lines, but it turns out that was just a repricing event. Tesla jacked up prices by $15,000 across the board for new Model S and X.
Even used prices are climbing—up about 10% in the last 90 days. If you're shopping for a used Tesla, my advice? Hold off for now, especially if you're financing. With interest rates where they are, it just doesn't add up.
Insane Custom Model S Build from Unplugged Performance
On a brighter note, check out this matte black Model S from Unplugged Performance—it's straight fire! Lowered stance, adjustable rear sway bar, dynamic lowering kit for the air suspension, and camber arms. Bennett hooked us up with details on their Street Performance Suspension Package for the Model S Plaid. If you're building a Plaid, this is the way to go. What do you think—dream build or what?
Level Up Your Tesla: Top Accessories You Need Right Now
Congrats on your new (or soon-to-be) Tesla! The real fun starts with accessories. I've narrowed it down to the top three must-haves:
- Phone Mounts – Jowua's is my go-to for all our Teslas. Perfect fit, rock-solid hold.
- Center Consoles – Tesla skimps here, so grab Jowua's wraparound organizer. Game-changer!
- All-Weather Floor Mats – My #1 recommendation. Hands down.
Best All-Weather Floor Mats: Good, Better, Best
- Good: Amazon basics (cheap and functional).
- Better: Taptes or similar mid-tier options.
- Best: 3W Liners – Lifetime warranty, laser-perfect fit for Model 3, Y, S, X, and even Cybertruck. Premium material that beats the competition.
