Tesla hiked its prices for its electric vehicles in the United States and China for the second time in a week, after CEO Elon Musk said that the company was facing inflation pressures in raw materials and logistics.

The electric car company had last raised its prices on March 9.

Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y have seen massive cost hikes as metal prices are on the rise due to sanctions on Russia, which had supplied the raw materials, and the already existing supply chain crisis.
