Without any real substantive changes to the vehicles, Tesla's prices rose as much as 50% (for the Model X) from 2021-2023. Even the Model 3 has increased by about 25%.

You can make inflation arguments, but it's pretty hard to claim that Tesla is driving prices down. (Prices have come down in 2023, but it's too early to know if this change is sticky. The reality is, most observers think Tesla uses price to regulate demand - so dropping price could just well mean less people want Teslas than before.)
