AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)10/04 Report--

Tesla officially posted on Weibo that the price of Tesla mobile charging connector (GB) has been raised by 400 yuan to 2950 yuan from now on due to chip shortages and cost fluctuations. Tesla said that adhering to the principle of open and transparent prices, it will continue to bring more high-quality products and experiences to everyone.

It is understood that the Tesla GB mobile connector supports 100-240V (single-phase) 50Hz alternating current and is equipped with a properly grounded special circuit socket with a length of 6 meters and a maximum current of 13A, which is suitable for any Tesla GB vehicle. Generally speaking, the price of the mainstream GB charging gun of the same specification does not exceed 2000 yuan, but the Tesla brand "halo" is there, there is a certain premium space is also normal. It is worth mentioning that the charging connector not only increases the price, but also shows "out of stock" on the official website. In this regard, officials suggest that users click on the arrival email on the page to remind them that a small number of goods will arrive in the near future.

In view of the reasons for the price increase, Tesla said it was "affected by chip shortage and cost fluctuations". As we all know, the scale of global automobile production is huge, and the demand for chips of automotive products continues to expand, while the overseas epidemic is still in a state of spread, resulting in the production of key auto parts can not be produced on time. As Tesla uses direct sales, his products are greatly affected by the market, such as the increase in the cost of battery raw materials, chip shortage and so on may directly lead to an increase in price.

From now on, the price of Tesla's high-performance Model Y Performance model will be raised by 10000 yuan, starting at 387900 yuan, Tesla said on Weibo on Sept. 11. According to the official website, the delivery time is expected to be the fourth quarter of this year. At present, Tesla's "lack of core" also affects the price of accessories.

On October 3, Tesla released delivery data for the third quarter of 2021, showing that a total of 241300 electric vehicles were delivered in the third quarter of 2021, surpassing 201250 in the second quarter, and a total of 237823 electric vehicles were produced in the second quarter, compared with 206421 in the second quarter. both figures set new quarterly highs for Tesla. Of these, Model 3 and Model Y delivered 232025 vehicles and produced 228882 vehicles, while Model X and Model S delivered 9275 vehicles and produced 8941 vehicles.

Combined with Tesla's previous data, Tesla's cumulative delivery volume in the first three quarters was 627427 vehicles, with a total production of 624582 vehicles, including 614232 for Model 3/Model Y and 13195 for Model S/Model X. At the beginning of this year, Tesla predicted that the growth rate of delivery volume this year would exceed 50%, which means that Tesla's delivery target this year will reach 750000 vehicles. "so far, Tesla has achieved his sales target of 83.66%. If nothing happens, the sales target of 750000 vehicles should not put too much pressure on Tesla. Of course, the current industry is affected by the shortage of chips, which to a certain extent also restricted the production and delivery of Tesla.
