You're going to have a hard time proving any modicum of emotional distress because Tesla raised the price of your luxury solar panel roof and charger for your Tesla from $77k to $90k.

House renovations can be incredibly stressful, which this may qualify.
As mentioned in the article, at least one individual spent thousands in preparation for his roof.
The time and effort of getting the initial work done and now the revelation of a double digit percent price increase, and a low key threat of further delays unless you sign right now?
Sounds quite distressful.
In fact, it is by design stressful, so as to pressure the consumer to accept the new contract.

I think I pointed that out - that a lawsuit as an individual is very hard to prove for a lower cost than any amount that you would recover
I.e., a lawsuit is not scaleable as an individual.
Tesla are taking advantage of that advantage of that asymmetry in scale, and basically saying "this is wrong, so sue us", knowing that few or zero will, and most will just eat that dung sandwich.
