Tesla is continuing to have a shake up of its prices and electric vehicle options, with the latest change being the removal of the cheapest, standard range Model S.

As Business Insider reports, until yesterday, the cheapest Model S you could buy was the standard range model, which cost $79,000. However, today that model has disappeared, meaning the cheapest Model S is now the long range model, which costs $89,500 ($75,250 with incentives and gas savings).

By effectively increasing the investment required by over $10,000 to own a Model S, Tesla may have priced it out of the market for some potential owners. As fas as Tesla is concerned, though, the change was necessary to "simplify the company's lineup." You may also remember that Tesla stopped selling the even cheaper 75kWh Model S back in January.

Earlier this week, Tesla dropped the Mid Range battery option from the Model 3. It made sense seeing as it only offered 20 miles more range than the Standard Range Plus option. Tesla also announced last week that most of its vehicle prices were set to rise, with the only exception being the $35,000 Model 3. At the same time, more of Tesla's retail stores would remain open, but actual sales were moving online even if you opted to visit a store.

Now it seems the Model S is taking a double hit, having seen its price increase by around three percent and now having the cheapest model option disappear from sale. Will that push more consumers to purchase a Model 3 instead, or make them opt for a different vehicle entirely?
