Confused about pricing of Tesla cars and USAfeatures? Get ready to get even more confused.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed that Autopilot pricing is "reverting to normal" -- meaning the prices go back up after they've been lowered recently -- next Monday.

Then, a few days ago, the company reversed that decision, saying it'll keep more stores open, but the prices of vehicles -- all but the base price Model 3 -- are going up by 3%.
In between those two decisions, Tesla also changed the pricing of its Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features, significantly lowering the prices for folks who bought a Tesla without them. This didn't really sit well with people who'd bought the features together with the car and paid a higher price for them.
Now, Tesla is backpedaling on that decision as well. In a tweet Tuesday, Musk said that the "lower price shouldn't have been offered" in the first place. "Was done so because some simply couldn't afford it. Prices revert to normal on Monday," he wrote.

The silver lining is that people who have a Tesla car eligible for the upgrades, and haven't bought them, can still take advantage of the reduced prices before Monday.
However, Tesla's back and forth on pricing for both the cars and the extra features has been horribly confusing. Let's hope the company will keep things a bit more simple and straightforward from now on.
