AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/18 Report--

Recently, CCTV reporters visited a number of Tesla stores in Shanghai and learned that Tesla will raise the price of the imported version of Model 3 from January next year, but if you pay 20,000 yuan of intention gold before January, you can lock in the current price of the imported version of Model 3.

According to Tesla's official website in China, Tesla can order three models at present, including the domestic version of the standard battery life upgrade version Model 3, the imported version of the long-term battery life version and the high-performance version of the Model 3. The prices of the three models are 355,800 yuan, 439,900 yuan and 509,900 yuan respectively.

At present, the imported version of Model 3 has completed the price increase, including the standard endurance enhanced version of Model 3 from $39490 to $39990, and the long-endurance all-wheel drive version from $48490 to $48990.

At present, Tesla has completed the price increase in the United States, and the price increase in the U.S. market is at least $500. Therefore, the Model 3 will be adjusted simultaneously in the domestic market. The price adjustment time will be January next year, which coincides with the delivery time of the domestic version of the Model 3.

It is worth noting that the domestic version of the Model 3 has a range of 480km, while the imported version has a range of 590km, a difference of 100km, but the price is 100,000 yuan more expensive.

Tesla store staff said that the price increase of the Model 3 import version has little to do with tariffs, mainly due to rising costs, and prices may change again next year due to purchase tax issues.

In the case of Tesla's imported Model 3 price increase, there are media reports today that Tesla is considering cutting the price of the domestic Model 3 by 20% next year, and the price of the domestic Model 3 will drop to about 285,000 yuan. To achieve this goal, Tesla will reduce costs by using more local parts, thereby reducing imported parts and avoiding tariffs. At the same time, promote domestic Tesla Model 3 sales.

In addition, the domestic version of Model 3 is listed in the Catalogue of Recommended Models for Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles, so Chinese car owners can enjoy a subsidy of 24.75 million yuan for purchasing the domestic version of Model 3, which means that the price of domestic models will be further reduced.

In response to this news, some media asked Tesla China for confirmation, the official denied and responded: "I haven't heard of this, please pay attention to the official website information."

The news that the domestic version of the Model 3 will be cut by 20% has been refuted, while the price of the imported version of the Model 3 will rise in January next year, and the Chinese market will adjust prices simultaneously. It is still unknown whether the domestic version of the Model 3 will be affected.
