I hope you weren't waiting for a price drop before getting a mid-range Tesla. The automaker has announced a price increase to the Tesla Model 3. Despite this, the model will also remove the Full Self-Driving feature.

In a statement by Tesla, the price hike was raised from $45,000 to $46,000 as a minor adjustment for the mid-range battery. Those who ordered the vehicle configuration prior to this change will not see an extra $1,000 on their credit card, however. Tesla will honor previous orders.

The Mid Range Model 3 includes a single, rear-driven motor. It has the same battery pack as the Long Range option, but with fewer cells. The difference is seen in an approximate 50 fewer miles to the total range. The Long Range Model 3 costs a solid $8,000 more, though the battery isn't the only reason why.

New purchases of the Mid Range option will no longer see "Full Self-Driving" as an available option. Tesla cites the reasoning as an effort to streamline the production process. According to the Twitter account of CEO Elon Musk, the option was put "off menu" for leading to "too much confusion."

The self-driving feature has been available in all Model 3 variants until now. Costing an extra $3,000, models produced after Spring of 2019 will include a new Autopilot microchip. Assuming the chip makes its way through regulations, it's expected to be the final piece in making full autonomy.
