Tesla has massively raised its prices. Why does it matter if it’s a dealership raising prices or the manufacturer itself? The demand is greater than the supply and cars in the U.S. are essential for all but a few households. Prices are going to rise. It’s just a matter of who is getting the increased profit: the dealership, the manufacturer, or a third party.

Dealership markup is highly variable vs MSRP which is across the board so it matters a lot.
Also Tesla prices are only up 15%. That is inline with inflation. Dealer and scalper markup on game consoles is way beyond that.

15% is far greater than what other car makers have raised their prices by. There is a discrepancy between MSRP and what buyers are willing to pay. Someone will attempt to capture that profit.
