The price of the long-lasting version of the Model X is adjusted to 909990 yuan, an increase of 30, 000 yuan. Tesla said in response to the price increase that the adjustment is a global adjustment. On July 16, the price of the long-lasting version of Model S was also adjusted from 799990 yuan announced to 829990 yuan, an increase of 30, 000 yuan. In the United States, the price of Tesla's long-lasting Model S / X model has also been raised again, with both models rising by $5000. After the adjustment, the long-lasting version of Model S will sell for $89990 and the long-lasting version of Model X will cost $99990. It is worth noting that the long-lasting version of Model S was officially published on Tesla's China official website on January 28 this year, and the price was announced at that time at 799990 yuan. However, the price has been raised twice before the vehicle has been officially delivered. Tesla CEO Elon Musk also said to the price increase that the main reason for Tesla's price rise is the supply chain pressure of the whole industry and the rising cost of raw materials.

With the continuation of the "chip shortage", resulting in a shortage of supply and demand in the global automobile industry. Since January this year, a number of automakers around the world have been forced to stop or cut production because of chip shortages. Compared with traditional vehicles, electric vehicles rely more on chips than traditional vehicles. Industry insiders also said that the increase in the manufacturing cost of new energy vehicles is mainly due to the fact that the battery system is the highest cost component in new energy vehicles, accounting for nearly 40%. The price of raw materials for power batteries continues to rise, which is one of the reasons for the price rise of car companies. In terms of raw materials, the market is now in short supply, and prices may continue to rise in the future.

In addition, according to data released by the China Automobile Circulation Association, in September 2021, the inventory early warning index of car dealers was 50.9%, down 3.1 percentage points from the same period last year and 0.8 percentage points from the previous month. With the arrival of gold, September and silver, the market demand will also increase. However, due to the shortage of chips, rising prices of raw materials, the epidemic in Malaysia and other effects continue, the pressure to reduce production also continues to expand, the supply of new cars is still insufficient. At present, there is a shortage of best-selling models and rising prices, in addition, the delivery cycle of new cars has also been extended, which will also cause consumers to wait and see and affect end-market sales. The China Automobile Circulation Association also said that the current peak gap of automotive chips has passed, and the supply of chips will slowly increase in the future, but it will take 3-5 months to transmit to automobile terminal sales.
